The 54th Special seminar of the School of Engineering "Advances of Cable-Driven Robots for Smart Living and Construction"

The city and living quality have been significantly affected by the ageing workforce and the shortage of labour, particularly for tasks that are dangerous or under harsh working conditions. In this presentation, various types of cable-driven robots and real-life applications related to building construction, utilities maintenance, and human assistive devices are introduced.

Different robot types include reconfigurable mechanisms, underactuated suspended systems and flexible robots. Example applications include robots for brick construction work, building inspection, wearable assistive devices to augment human capabilities and robots to physical touch to comfort people.

To realise these challenging applications, advances in topics related to mechanism design, kinematics, dynamics, workspace analysis, control and intelligence will be presented to allow these robots to operate within complex environments and settings.
