A Versatile Tension Distribution Algorithm for $n$ -DOF Parallel Robots Driven by $n+2$ Cables

Redundancy resolution of redundantly actuated cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) requires the computation of feasible and continuous cable tension distributions along a trajectory. This paper focuses on n-DOF CDPRs driven by n + 2 cables, since, for n = 6, these redundantly actuated CDPRs are relevant in many applications. The set of feasible cable tensions of n-DOF (n + 2)-cable CDPRs is a 2-D ...
