Summary:This paper describes the development of an approach for trajectory planning of cable-suspended parallel robots using optimal control approach. A prototype has been built, and tests have been carried out to verify the theoretical results. This paper briefly illustrates this device and presents some initial tests. The final dynamic equations are organized in a closed form similar to serial manipulator equations. Dynamic load-carrying capacity problem is converted into a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The problem is formulated using optimal control theory, and the ideas are analyzed using Pontryagin’s minimum principle. The optimal solutions are found by solving the corresponding nonlinear two-point boundary value problems. The main objective is to find the manipulator load-carrying capacity in point-to-point task by considering actuator torque while cable forces are positive.
