DESCRIPTION:Hung Hon Cheng (CREATE\, EPFL)\nAbstract: A Cable-Driven Par
 allel Robot is an alternative actuation method to achieve a large workspac
 e and dynamic motion with a simple mechanical design. It offers excellent 
 capabilities in spatial displacement\, force transmission\, and end-effect
 or stiffness. However\, long cables present significant challenges in appl
 ications due to potential interference. In this seminar\, I will discuss r
 elevant applications of cable robots and strategies for adjusting the robo
 t’s configuration based on the forces required at the end-effector\, par
 ticularly in parallel-driven scenarios. This will include the robot’s de
 sign\, kinematic analysis\, and the applications I am currently working on
 .\n\nBio: Paul is a postdoctoral researcher at the Computational Robot De
 sign & Fabrication (CREATE) Lab at EPFL. He earned both his Bachelor's deg
 ree and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong 
 Kong\, followed by a position as a mechanical engineer in surgical robotic
 s. His PhD research focused on optimizing the kinematic configuration and 
 control of reconfigurable Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) for use in 
 large spaces. His current research centers on CDPRs and teleoperation syst
 ems for large-scale space applications in automation and manipulation.
