Abstract
This paper presents the recent results from a newly designed parallel wire robot which is currently under construction. Firstly, an overview of the system architecture is given and technically relevant requirements for the realization are identified. A technique to compute and transfer an estimation of the workspace to CAD tools is presented. Furthermore, tools to solve the forward kinematics of some special configuration under real-time requirements are explored. Simulation results show the feasibility of the presented algorithms.
