In this work, we present the model for manipulating a flexible body using two omnidirectional drones at its extremities. The drones are considered conventional rigid bodies while the flexible body is described as a Cosserat beam with its dynamics …
Cables, such as these used to drive a cable-driven parallel robot's platform, are therein generally considered massless, straight lines between two points neglecting major dynamics. This assumption holds true for some cable robots, however for …
