Abstract

Parallel link mechanisms with flexible links (cable-driven robots) offer the following advantages: low link inertia, low noise, mobility, low material consumption and others. Cable-driven robots are finding more and more applications, examples of which are described in this article. After reviewing the examples, the possible classification criteria will be outlined and a classification for three- and four-coordinate flexible link manipulators will be developed. The S symbol indicates that the basic structural scheme is a mechanism that performs Schoen flies motion and the number of attachment points n on the output link and satisfy the following relations on the base i: 3 ≤ n ≤ 4 and 3 ≤ i ≤ 4, and the number of arrangement layouts of axes of the input links m and the combination of flexible links satisfy the following relations: 1 ≤ m ≤ 3 and 1 ≤ j ≤ 3 respectively. The article concludes with a summary of the work results and an outline of future research.
