Wire-driven Parallel Robot: Open Issues

Wire-driven parallel robot (WDPR) is a special class of parallel robot in which the rigid legs are replaced by wires, with potential advantages in terms of intrusivity and workspace. Although the study of WDPR seems to be a well-addressed subject, we will show that there are still numerous challenging open issues in this field.
