Cable-Driven Parallel Robots

Cable-driven parallel robots are a new kind of lightweight manipulators with excellent scalability in terms of size, payload, and dynamics capacities. For the first time, a comprehensive compendium is presented of the field of cable-driven parallel robots. A thorough theory of cable robots is setup leading the reader from first principles to the latest results in research. The main topics covered in the book are classification, terminology, and fields of application for cable-driven parallel robots. The geometric foundation of the standard cable model is introduced followed by statics, force distribution, and stiffness. Inverse and forward kinematics are addressed by elaborating efficient algorithms. Furthermore, the workspace is introduced and different algorithms are detailed. The book contains the dynamic equations as well as simulation models with applicable parameters. Advanced cable models are described taking into account pulleys, elastic cables, and sagging cables. For practitioner, a descriptive design method is stated including methodology, parameter synthesis, construction design, component selection, and calibration. Rich examples are presented by means of simulation results from sample robots as well as experimental validation on reference demonstrators. The book contains a representative overview of reference demonstrator system. Tables with physical parameters for geometry, cable properties, and robot parameterizations support case studies and are valuable references for building custom cable robots. For scientist, the book provides the starting point to address new scientific challenges as open problems are named and a commented review of the literature on cable robot with more than 500 references are given.

Dieser Band fuehrt zwei interdisziplinare Forschungsfelder zusammen: Die Untersuchung der gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung des Internets und die theoretische Diskussion zum Verhaltnis von Raum und Gesellschaft. Die raumlichen und gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen des Internets werden anhand physisch-materieller, struktureller, perzeptiver und kommunikativer Aspekte analysiert. Sichtbar wird dabei nicht zuletzt, welche Impulse die Raumdebatte am Forschungsobjekt Internet gewinnen kann. Der erste Teil des Bandes behandelt die Problematik der Verortung des Internets. Der zweite Teil identifiziert auf zweierlei Weise einen strukturgenerierenden Geocode des Internets. Der eingehenden Bestimmung und Untersuchung verschiedenartiger Raume des Internets widmet sich der dritte Teil des Bandes. oDie Vielfalt der Zugange zum Thema Internetgeographien und die differenten Beobachtungsstandpunkte zeichnen diesen Band aus. Durch die Zusammenstellung der Beitrage von Autorinnen und Autoren aus verschiedenen disziplinaren Kontexten entsteht nicht nur ein facettenreiches Bild der Herstellung und Bedeutung von Raum in sozialer Kommunikation, sondern auch ein Eindruck von den Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden der Bearbeitung dieses Forschungsfeldes in unterschiedlichen Disziplinen. Fuer die weitere Auseinandersetzung mit dem Verhaltnis von Internet, Raum und Gesellschaft stellt dieser Band eine erstklassige Referenz dar.o Erdkunde "Der besondere Reiz dieses interdisziplinar konzipierten, nicht nur fuer den geuebten Internetnutzer lesenswerten Sammelbandes liegt in den mehrdimensionalen Beobachtungen der physisch-materiellen, strukturellen, perzeptiven und kommunikativen Aspekte des Internets unter dem gemeinsamen Fokus von Raum und Gesellschaft."

Der Begriff des Migrationsregimes erfreut sich großer Beliebtheit. Er verspricht einen analytischen Zugriff auf die Komplexität der Beziehung von Migration und Regulation. Dabei wird er jedoch sehr unterschiedlich genutzt und gedeutet. Die Herausgeber des Sammelbandes verstehen diese Vielstimmigkeit als einen Aufruf zur Debatte. Aufbauend auf einem längeren Austauschprozess auf Tagungen und Workshops haben sie Forscher*innen, die zentrale Fachrichtungen einer interdisziplinären Migrationsforschung und deren unterschiedliche Perspektiven vertreten, eingeladen, die Grundannahmen, Potentiale und Herausforderungen des Ansatzes zu diskutieren. Die so versammelten kritischen Einsichten in ein Schlüsselkonzept der modernen Migrationswissenschaft leuchten Wege aus, wie Fragen von Machtverteilung, Agency und Aushandlung systematischer in die Migrationsforschung einbezogen werden können.
