Abstract
A cable robot comprises a platform supporting an effector and cables. Each cable is connected on one end to an attachment point on the platform and extends from this attachment point to an anchoring point attached to a supporting structure. The anchoring points being contained in more than one plane. The cables include a set of driving cables whose ends are connected to a winch. The cables include a set of reconfigurable cables, whose anchoring points are movable relative to the supporting structure. The supporting structure is beared by a set of independent mobile bases having anchorings to fix the mobile bases to the ground.
