A New Quaternion-Joint Cable-Driven Redundant Manipulator Configuration and its Control Through FABRIK and Residual Reinforcement Learning
Researchers have developed a novel configuration for a quaternion-joint cable-driven redundant manipulator, featuring four segments and eight joints. This new design offers a broader workspace and lower hardware costs compared to existing configurations. The study demonstrates that Residual Reinforcement Learning significantly outperforms the FABRIK algorithm in controlling this manipulator, achieving superior accuracy and a simpler control implementation.
