Extending Wire-Driven Parallel Robots to Multi-Floating-Link Systems with an Inter-Body Wire

Parallel wire-driven systems are a framework in which multiple wires are connected to an end effector, and the end effector is driven by the tensions of those wires. Because they can transmit large forces, up to the breaking strength of the wires, over lengths on the order of several tens of meters, they can realize powerful actuation in large workspaces.
