Our study presents a novel design for a cable-driven robotic arm, emphasizing low cost, low inertia movement, and long-term cable durability. The robotic arm shares similar specifications with the UR5 robotic arm, featuring a total of six degrees of freedom (DOF) distributed in a 1:1:1:3 ratio at th...
