...ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK PREDICTION OF DEFLECTION MAPS FOR CABLE- DRIVEN ROBOTS Leila Notash1 Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Queen s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT In this paper, the learning models of cable-driven robots are developed applying the artificial...

... that would result in disjointed workspace regions and deflection maps are identified. It is presented that the change in deflection is gradual throughout the workspace for constant external wrench. For the catenary model, depending on the cable properties, platform orientation, manipulator design...
