Improved Modeling of Kinematics and Dynamics of Light-Weight Parallel Robots

Philipp Tempel and Andreas Pott

  • Experimentally validated cable elasticity model based on standard linear solid model;
  • Built COPacabana cable robot as validation and test bed for my research;
  • Derived and validated cable dynamics model based on Cosserat theory of elastic bodies;
  • Estimated in experiments inertial and mechanical parameters of cable robots CoGiRo, COPacabana, IPAnema;
  • Implemented real-time motion control and real-time workspace calculation of cable robots in C/C++ and ROS;
  • Implemented design and analysis algorithms of cable robots in GUI software WireCenter in C/C++ 11;
  • Created and validated general-purpose MATLAB/Simulink real-time simulation toolbox CDPRlab for cable robots;
  • Collaborated with Fraunhofer IPA on industrialization of cable robot technology and industrial use cases;
  • Developed python package CDPyR for design and analysis of cable robots;
  • Joined Joint Robotics Laboratory, Chonnam National University, Gwangju, Republic of Korea as invited researcher;
  • Joined Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics and Microelectronics of Montpellier, France as visiting researcher;
