| 8 | State-of-the-art on theories and applications of cable-driven parallel robots显示文摘Cable-driven parallel robot(CDPR)is a type of high-performance robot that integrates cable-driven kinematic chains and parallel mechanism theory.It inherits the high dynamics and heavy load capacities of the parallel mechanism and significantly improves the workspace,cost and energy efficiency simultaneously.As a result,CDPRs have had irreplaceable roles in industrial and technological fields,such as astronomy,aerospace,logistics,simulators,and rehabilitation.CDPRs follow the cutting-edge trend of rigid-flexible fusion,reflect advanced lightweight design concepts,and have become a frontier topic in robotics research.This paper summarizes the kernel theories and developments of CDPRs,covering configuration design,cable-force distribution,workspace and stiffness,performance evaluation,optimization,and motion control.Kinematic modeling,workspace analysis,and cable-force solution are illustrated.Stiffness and dynamic modeling methods are discussed.To further promote the development,researchers should strengthen the investigation in configuration innovation,rapid calculation of workspace,performance evaluation,stiffness control,and rigid-flexible coupling dynamics.In addition,engineering problems such as cable materials,reliability design,and a unified control framework require attention. | Zhaokun ZHANG Zhufeng SHAO Zheng YOU Xiaoqiang TANG Bin ZI Guilin YANG Clément GOSSELIN Stéphane CARO | 2022 | Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering2022,17,3: | 0 |
