Abstract

In this paper, an overconstrained cable-driven parallel robot with 8 cables and 6 DOFs is used for the execution of 3D-picking tasks with high dynamics. The main objective of the manipulator is the feeding of an automatic packaging machine by picking low-weight products from a pile. In particular, here, we study the optimal geometric design of the robot platform based on its task and using a genetic algorithm.
