This C program implements a simulation of an autocalibration subsystem for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) based on event detection using instrumented cables and inductive sensors.

Publication: "Autocalibration Subsystem for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots" – arXiv:2012.15586

The system estimates cable length and detects drift using:
- Metallic marks on cables (non-uniform spacing)
- Fixed inductive sensors at varying heights
- Simple event-time computation assuming constant velocity
gcc auto_calibration.c -o auto_calibration
