This paper studies cable-driven parallel robots with less than six cables, in crane configuration. A geometrico-static model is provided, and the stability of static equilibrium is assessed within the framework of a constrained optimization problem. The method relies on ordinary linear-algebra routines, and it may be very simply applied to the most general architectures. Several examples are provided, concerning robots with a number of cables that range from 2 to 4.
