Abstract

The article discusses the non-uniform covering method application to solve the problem of the workspace determination of a cable-driven parallel robot with a movable gripper for cargo handling in special conditions. The robot is a rigidly fixed frame connected by tensioned ropes to a platform containing an axial movement device. The non-uniform covering method is one of the most well-known deterministic methods for solving global optimization problems. An algorithm for approximating the workspace of a cable-driven parallel robot using interval analysis methods has been synthesized. Visualization of simulation results is carried out by converting a set of three-dimensional boxes into an STL file.
