HexaSphere with Cable Actuation

  • Chapter

Abstract

The paper deals with details of development of cable actuated version of spherical mechanism HexaSphere, a redundantly actuated mechanism with parallel kinematic structure. The cables can only transfer tension forces, stress load of the cables would make the mechanism collapse. That can be achieved by anti-backlash control principle. Anti-backlash area of mechanism HexaSphere is mapped first. Secondly actuation forces required for given trajectory and robot’s dynamics are computed and minimised by dimension optimisation.
