  • Abstract
    In this paper the design and kinematic performances are presented for a low-cost parallel manipulator with 4 driven cables. It has been conceived for an easy programming of its operation by properly formulating the Kinematics of the parallel architecture that uses cables. A prototype has been built and tests have experienced the feasibility of the system design and its operation.
