Abstract

The experimental determination of the accuracy of a three-degree-of-freedom (three-dof) spatial cable-suspended parallel robot is addressed in this paper. The concept of the dynamic trajectory planning of a three-dof spatial cable-suspended parallel robot is first briefly recalled. Then, periodic trajectories are planned and an external three-dimensional measurement system is used to determine the actual trajectory of the end-effector. Linear regression is used to fit the measured trajectory with the planned trajectory and eliminate the bias error. The accuracy of the trajectories is then assessed.
