Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the possibility of using cables to eliminate out-of-plane vibrations in planar cable-driven parallel robotic manipulators. A new control strategy is presented with a complete stability analysis. The results show it is theoretically possible to stabilize planar cable-driven systems in non-planar directions using cables alone. The developed controller is shown to be effective both in simulation and experimentally at attenuating transverse platform vibrations.
