This work studies redundant actuation for both trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection on flexible cable-driven parallel robots (CDPR). High dynamics/bandwidth unidirectional force generators, like air propellers, are used in combination with conventional but slower cable winding winches. To optimally balance the action of the two types of actuation within their saturation constraints, a mod...
