Cable-driven parallel robots are made of a rigid mobile platform attached to a fixed frame by several cables acting in parallel, their lengths being controlled by servo-actuated winches. These robots and their variants are the topics of this special issue. In the past decade, cable-driven parallel robots have attracted renewed interest from the research community and industry. This interest stems from several advantages that are widely recognized to favor cable-driven parallel robots over other robotic systems: large workspace, low cost, good dynamic properties, reconfigurability and portability. Although these robots have many advantages, there are still many scientific and technological obstacles to overcome in order to make them competitive and viable from an industrial perspective. This special issue will also highlight work presented at the Sixth International Conference on Cable-driven Parallel Robots (CableCon 2023).
