The inverse kinematics (IK) of serial robots admits multiple solutions, making the selection of the desired one potentially challenging depending on the application at hand. For robots with a non-cuspidal architecture, a suitable strategy is to partition the joint space into independent regions, kno
Continuum parallel robots ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">CPRs</i> ) comprise several flexible beams connected in parallel to an end-effector. They combine the inherent compliance of continuum robots with the high payload capacity o
This letter presents a novel Cable-Driven Parallel Robot dedicated to laser-scanning operations. The proposed device can inspect low-accessibility environments, thanks to a self-deployable end-effector, which can be inserted in a closed container through very small access areas, such as hatches, pip
