Modeling and Direct Adaptive Robust Control of Flexible Cable-Actuated Systems
Cable-actuated systems provide an effective method for precise motion transmission over various distances in many robotic systems. In general, the use of cables has many potential advantages such as high-speed manipulation, larger payloads, larger range of motion, access to remote locations and …

Development of a high-speed rotating bar mechanism
… bar mechanism (RBM) consists of: a rotor with flexible cable “bars” attached to the rim of the disk, a disk housing, a bearing housing, a driving air turbine, and a turbine mounting housing. The RBM is mounted to the side of the wind tunnel so that only the bars enter and exit the tunnel test …

The use of transfer function methods in the feedback control of distributed parameter systems
… feedback control is applied to various flexible cable and beam configurations. Root-loci for various values of gain are constructed and the system characteristics and the global system stability are determined. Although the procedure outlined above can be carried out for basic structural …

A high-speed robotic disassembly system for the recycling and reuse of cellphones
… The prototype was tested on disconnecting flat flexible cable connectors which were universal and traditionally difficult for machines to remove. Multiple end effectors were designed, and different combinations of end effectors and motions were compared showing the optimum combination for prying …

State and Dynamics Estimation in an Outdoor Multi-Drone Slung Load System
… a load attached to one or more drones using a flexible cable can significantly enhance the capabilities of these platforms. This work aims to develop a multi-drone platform, built on open-source tools such as PX4 and ROS2, that can be used to lift a general slung load in an outdoor environment. …

Sensor Array Processing with Manifold Uncertainty
… array consists of many hydrophones mounted to a flexible cable that is pulled behind a ship. The towed cable will bend or distort as the ship performs maneuvers. The motion of the cable through the turn can be used to resolve ambiguities that are inherent to nominally linear arrays. The first …
