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 ...

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 ...

Leading experts from all over the world will come together at the »First International Conference on Cable-Driven Parallel Robots« at the Institute Center of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Stuttgart.

In essence, without robust flexible cables, collaborative robots (cobots) and smart factory equipment would suffer frequent downtimes and failures, as standard cables cannot survive the dynamic ...

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 ...

Professor Bülthoff, there are three motion simulators in the Cyberneum. What is the nature of the general interest in this research? We want to better understand how people’s senses interact when they ...

One of the most challenging things for humans to manipulate are items like rope, wire, or cables. These thin, flexible objects are even more difficult for robots to manage with most robotic grippers ...

A new type of motion simulator has been developed that comprises a cabin suspended and maneuvered by robotically-controlled steel cables. It is able to be installed in rooms of varying sizes, and can ...

Researchers have created a lightweight, cable-climbing robot equipped with a computer vision system to detect surface defects on bridge stay cables. The system achieved over 92 % detection precision ...
