Abstract: A Cable-Driven Parallel Robot is an alternative actuation method to achieve a large workspace and dynamic motion with a simple mechanical design. It offers excellent capabilities in spatial displacement, force transmission, and end-effector stiffness. However, long cables present significant challenges in applications due to potential interference. In this seminar, I will discuss relevant applications of cable robots and strategies for adjusting the robot’s configuration based on the forces required at the end-effector, particularly in parallel-driven scenarios. This will include the robot’s design, kinematic analysis, and the applications I am currently working on.
Bio: Paul is a postdoctoral researcher at the Computational Robot Design & Fabrication (CREATE) Lab at EPFL. He earned both his Bachelor's degree and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, followed by a position as a mechanical engineer in surgical robotics. 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 systems for large-scale space applications in automation and manipulation.
