Components: Cube made of aluminium frames with acrylic sheet on the top face, 3 closed-loop stepper motors, Dyneema cables, NI myRIO controller, Cylindrical end effector. 

Operation: The 3 stepper motors receive commands from the NI myRIO controller and rotate a spool mounted on their shaft. When the spool rotates, it changes the length of the 3 cables attached to the end effector and thereby moves the end effector.

Purpose: Stabilization and motion planning algorithms developed for cable robots can be validated using the platform.
