Wire Robots Part I Kinematics, Analysis & Design

One drawback of classical parallel robots is their limited workspace, mainly due to the limitation of the stroke of linear actuators. Parallel wire robots (also known as Tendon-based Steward platforms or cable robots) face this problem through substitution of the actuators by wires (or tendons, cables, . . .). Tendon-based Steward platforms have been proposed in (Landsberger & Sheridan, 1985). Although these robots share the basic concepts of classical parallel robots, there are some major differences:
