Towards vision-based control of cable-driven parallel robots

Abstract

This paper deals with the vision-based control of cable-driven parallel robots. First, a 3D pose visual servoing is proposed, where the end-effector pose is indirectly measured and used for regulation. This method is illustrated and validated on a cable-driven parallel robot prototype. Second, to take into account the dynamics of the platform and using a Cartesian pose and velocity estimator, a vision-based computed torque control is developed and validated in simulation. TS - IEEE
