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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Together with the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), Tecnalia has developed the first cable-driven robot that allows large parts and even small buildings to be created in situ.

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 ...

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 ...

Graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built the first graffiti-painting robot system that mimics the fluidity of human movement. Aptly named GTGraffiti, the system uses motion ...

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 ...
