Inspired by the LIMS2-AMBIDEX robotic arm, the mechanism is effectively two counteracting sets of pulley, running of the same cable reel, with rollers allowing them to act around the bend of the ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a ...

We modeled the Raven II robot, with various techniques, for establishing kinematic and dynamic models, modeling cable properties, and predicting gripping force. From these experiments, we draw an ...
