内容摘要Abstract：

Cable-driven robots (CDRs) have been studied in recent years due to its unique characteristics and advantages. As a result, they have been used in a wide range of applications from large-scale manipulation, bio-inspired robots to rehabilitation. From modelling, dynamics, control and workspace analysis, there exists many difficult challenges due to the characteristic that cables can only pull and not push. In addition to the fundamental studies for traditional CDRs, the development of novel types of CDRs, such as flexible frame CDRs, hybrid serial CDRs, thruster CDRs and mobile CDRs, will be presented. Finally, the applications of these types of robots will be discussed, such as within building inspection and construction, and lightweight wearable prosthetic and superlimb devices.

个人简介(About the speaker):

Darwin Lau received Bachelor of Engineering (mechatronics) and Bachelor of Computer Science degrees from the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2008, and the Ph.D degree in robotics from the University of Melbourne, in 2014, on the modelling and analysis of cable-driven robots. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, Assistant Dean (Student Affairs) at the Faculty of Engineering and the Co-Director of the CUHK Centre of Robotic Construction and Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research interests include the design, modelling and control of novel robotic mechanisms (such as redundantly actuated manipulators, flexible and cable-driven robots), and human-robot collaboration. These studies have led to a wide range of applications within on bio-inspired robotics, biomechatronics and robotic building construction. He is a senior member of IEEE, co-chair of the RAS Technical Committee on Mechanisms and Design, and currently an associate editor of ASME Journal of Mechnisms and Robotics, and Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering.
