These devices can be tremendously beneficial in manufacturing, yet a significant hurdle impedes their widespread adoption: internal force contention.

Envision this scenario: a robot seemingly executes commands with precision and attains the correct spatial orientation, but simultaneously, its joints appear to be locked in a sort of internal disagreement.

They contrasted two distinct structural types: redundant rigid robots (where all connections are stiff) and cable-driven redundant robots (where tensile forces are transmitted via cables, analogous to a suspension bridge).

It turned out that this issue is exclusive to redundant mechanisms, and the magnitude of this force is contingent upon the robot’s architecture, its current posture, and the materials composing its links.
