Abstract: Planar parallel robots have been examined theoretically for a long period. Similarly, cable robots have also been a subject for research in the last decade. Recent research on cable-driven ...

A pod constructed from carbon-fibre rods is suspended by eight stout steel cables that are anchored in the walls of a large hall and are equipped with powerful motors. This, along with modern computer ...

Abstract: Realizing both dexterity in a large workspace and mechanically efficient architecture is a challenge for robotic manipulators. Conventional industrial robots, including serial and parallel ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

(Nanowerk News) Their very large workspaces, good mobility and high payload capacity allow cable-driven robots to meet high requirements. Developed by Fraunhofer IPA, the IPAnema cable-driven robot is ...

Graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built the first graffiti-painting robot system that mimics the fluidity of human movement. Aptly named GTGraffiti, the system uses motion ...

The current model ends at the tool frame, the ee_site on the file ur10_arm.xml. To integrate a gripper, the following generic steps apply (independent of gripper type): Define a new body attached to ...

There have been a number of 3D-printing robots rolled out lately that can squirt out a house, but Tecnalia in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) has come up ...
