Abstract

An alternative approach to standard computed torque with feedback linearization is proposed in this paper to control cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) with highly flexible cables. Exteroceptive feedback is used to measure the end-effector Cartesian position at a high sampling rate. Stability is demonstrated using singular perturbation theory. The proposed control scheme is experimentally validated on a planar 3-degree-of-freedom CDPR and its efficiency is assessed by comparison with a simple kinematic control law.
