Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) represent an innovative class of robotic systems that utilise flexible cables to actuate a moving platform. This design offers significant advantages over ...

(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 ...

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 ...

KANAGAWA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OKI Electric Cable (TOKYO:5815) today announced the launch of VEYOR-CABLE™ parallel robot cables, *1 which enable various high-flex robot cables to be combined and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Up until now, we haven’t really been able to accurately track the flight path of certain insects because they're too small and too quick. But researchers have developed a cable-driven parallel robot, ...
