Abstract

A system and method for routing and securing a cable to a plurality of fixtures mounted to a structure using a robot. The method includes grasping the cable; twisting the cable so as to provide a tension force on the cable; sliding the gripper along the twisted cable while the cable is under tension; generating a nonlinear cable dynamics model using a learning-based algorithm; generating robot motion command signals using the cable dynamic model; and controlling the motion of the robot using the robot motion command signals and robot pose and force measurements to route and secure the cable to the plurality of fixtures.
