DESCRIPTION:Controls\, Robotics and Cybernetics Joint Chapter of IEEE Vanco
 uver Section\n\nTitle: Kinematically Redundant Hybrid Parallel Robots for 
 Physical Human-Robot Interaction\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Kefei Wen\n\nDate &amp; Time:
  August 31st\, 2023 at 3PM Pacific Time\n\nPlace: Zoom and UBC Point Grey 
 Campus\n\nAbstract:\n\nRobots that physically interact with humans are mak
 ing their way into many applications like in\n\nmanufacturing and healthca
 re. Many parallel robots are favourable candidates that can be used\n\nas 
 physical human-robot interaction interfaces since the actuators are mounte
 d on or close to\n\nthe base\, thereby reducing the inertia of the moving 
 parts and ensuring backdrivability.\n\nHowever\, the performance of such r
 obots is limited by their relatively small rotational\n\ncapabilities due 
 to singularities within the workspace. In this talk\, we present the kinem
 atic\n\nanalysis and motion control of a class of novel kinematically redu
 ndant hybrid parallel robots\,\n\nwhere kinematic redundancy is utilised t
 o completely alleviate singularities\, resulting in a very\n\nlarge orient
 ational workspace. Potential applications of this kind of robots in the co
 ntext of\n\nphysical human-robot interaction are then demonstrated through
  a prototype.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kefei Wen \n\nAgenda: \n3:00PM: Start and Int
