Abstract
Direct kinematics (DK) of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPR) based only on cable lengths measurements is a complex issue even with ideal cables and consequently even harder for more realistic cable models. A natural way to simplify the DK solving is to add sensors. We consider here sensors that give a partial or complete measurement of the cable direction at the anchor points and spatial CDPR with 2/3 cables and we assume that these measurements are exact. We provide a solving procedure and maximal number of DK solutions for an extensive combination of sensors while considering two different cables models: ideal and linearly elastic without deformation.
