  • Jean Baptiste Izard (Inventor)

Research output: Patent

Abstract

The invention refers to a cable-driven parallel manipulator (10) comprising: - a support structure; - a cable system (30) mounted on the support structure; and - a mobile platform (20) connected to the cable system (30) whereto a load is attachable; - the cable system being controlled by a control unit to position and orientate the mobile platform (20) and/or to apply wrenches on the mobile platform (20); and further comprising: - at least one movable device (50, 51, 52, 50', 51', 52') mounted on the mobile platform (20); - a control module configured to generate an instruction to move the movable device (20) for displacing an overall center of mass of all of: the mobile platform, the at least one movable device and the load, such that, upon moving the movable device (20), the overall center of mass is within a predetermined region (101). The invention also refers to a method for stabilizing a load of a cable-driven parallel manipulator (10).
