Abstract

The WiRo-6.3 is a six-degrees of freedom (six-DOF) robotic parallel structure actuated by nine wires, whose characteristics have been thoroughly analyzed in previous papers in reference. It is thought to be a master device for teleoperation; thus, it is moved by an operator through a handle and can convey a force reflection on the operator's hand. A completely new method for studying the workspace of this device, and of virtually any nine-wire parallel structure actuated by wire is presented and discussed, and its results are given in a graphical form.
