This letter focuses on the vibration reduction for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots. A Non-linear Model Predictive Controller (NMPC) is designed and implemented to adapt the control inputs sent to the robot actuators. This NMPC is based on an elasto-dynamic model of the robot, which is discretized and i
Cable elasticity can significantly impact the accuracy of Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs). However, it’s frequently disregarded as negligible in CDPR simulations and designs. In this paper, we propose a numerical approach, referred to as SEECR, which is designed to estimate the behavior of a CD…
Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) are well-adapted to large workspaces since they replace rigid links by cables. However, they lack in positioning accuracy and new control methods are necessary to achieve profile-following tasks. This paper presents a control scheme designed for these tasks, rely…
Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) are parallel robots with rigid links replaced by cables. As for most parallel robots the determination of the analytical solutions to the direct geometrico-static model (DGSM) is a difficult task that is often not feasible online. However, the knowledge of the mo…
Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are a type of parallel robots, where cables are used instead of rigid links. This leads to many advantages, such as large workspace, low mass in motion and simple reconfiguration. The drawbacks are accuracy issues and complex cable management. Indeed, it is usual…
Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are a kind of parallel robots that have cables instead of rigid links. Implementing vision-based control on CDPRs leads to a good final accuracy despite modeling errors and other perturbations in the system. However, unlike final accuracy, the trajectory to the g
Nowadays, one of the largest environmental challenges that European countries must face consists in dealing with the past half century of nuclear waste. In order to optimize maintenance costs, nuclear waste must be sorted, segregated and stored according to its radiation level. Towards this end, in…
Cleaning up the past half century of nuclear waste represents the largest environmental remediation project in the whole Europe. Nuclear waste must be sorted, segregated and stored according to its radiation level in order to optimize maintenance costs. The objective of this work is to develop a sha…
