However, multiple legs and large workspace are both factors for interference. We consider a CDPR platform within a 6D workspace, and as sources of interference the collisions with the robot's environment and self interference. We present two algorithms and their interval analysis-based applications to handle the different types of interference. Finally, the efficiencies of the algorithms are presented.}, keywords={collision avoidance;legged locomotion;6D workspace;CDPR platform;cable-driven parallel robots;interference detection;interval analysis-based applications;Cable shielding;Equations;Interference;Legged locomotion;Mathematical model;Silicon;Vectors;Cable-Driven Parallel Robots;Interval Analysis;Modeling and Design;collision;leg interference;robotics}, doi={10.1109/AIM.2014.6878280} }
