Cable-driven parallel robots

This publication presents the outcome of the "First International Conference on Cable-Driven Parallel Robots" in 2012. thisis the first conference to bring together the cable robot community and dedicate a forum for the international experts in this field. It contains the Know-how, ideas and experiences of active researchers developing cable-driven robots. The book presents the state of the art, including summarizing contributions and latest research results and,where relevant, the future outlook. The book covers the essential topics for cable-driven robots: classification and definition, kinematics, workspace analysis, cable modeling, control and calibration, design methodology, hardware/prototype development, experimental evaluation, application reports and new application concepts.
