Abstract

In this paper a simple model of mobile traversal mechanism suspended by cables and actuated by motors is presented. A detailed description of the workspace on which the payload is traversed is discussed. The mechanism is actuated by cables which are driven by motors. The rate of change of length of cables and the angular velocities of motors are determined such that the payload traverses along the shortest path in the desired duration of time. The motors are programmed to operate separately as per the derived formulas. The mechanism thus designed is portable and can be applied in the field of agriculture, farming, manufacturing, surveillance etc.
