About
Marc Arsenault is a leading researcher in the design and analysis of cable-driven and tensegrity mechanisms for advanced robotic applications. His work focuses on two key areas: tensegrity robots, which use lightweight cable networks to achieve high-acceleration motion, and cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) for automated construction. Arsenault’s major contributions include developing analytical methods to compute the actuator and Cartesian workspace boundaries of planar tensegrity mechanisms, as well as designing a 3-degree-of-freedom CDPR for automated building tasks. His most cited paper, “Analytical Computation of the Actuator and Cartesian Workspace Boundaries for a Planar 2-Degree-of-Freedom Translational Tensegrity Mechanism” (2012), has garnered 15 citations, while his recent work on CDPR design for construction (2023) has already earned 10 citations. He has also advanced the field by creating the CDPR Studio, a parametric design tool for simulating cable-suspended robots, and by developing algorithms to compute force sets and interference-free workspaces for kinematically redundant manipulators. Arsenault’s research is notable for its practical impact on high-speed automation and construction robotics, bridging theoretical workspace analysis with real-world design tools.
