Abstract

This paper presents a method for tension optimization of a 3-DOF planar cable-driven coupling manipulator based on robot dynamics which contains cable elasticity. The robot is driven by two independent actuated cables, the cables are modeled as axial linear springs. The key point is to minimize cable tension in case of breakage, at the same time always keeping a positive value to avoid slack behavior. By using Pseudo spectral algorithm and considering robot dynamics equation as constraint, cable tension is optimized in force and cable length control mode respectively. The simulation results show effectiveness of the optimization algorithm.
