In this paper dynamic analysis and control of fully-constrained parallel cable robots are studied in detail. In dynamic analysis, it is assumed that the dominant dynamics of cable can be approximated by linear axial spring. Furthermore, variable stiffness formulation for the cables is employed in modeling process. To overcome vibrations caused by inevitable elasticity of cables, a composite control law is proposed based on singular perturbation theory. Using the proposed control algorithm the dynamics of the cable robot is divided into two subsystems namely slow and fast. Then, based on the results of singular perturbation theory, stability analysis of the total system is performed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed composite control law is investigated through several simulations on a planar parallel cable robot.
