About
Hor Tan is a leading researcher in the field of robotic systems, with a primary focus on **cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs)** and their application in **search-and-rescue operations**. His work centers on the design, reconfiguration, and stability of mobile robotic platforms that can adapt to dynamic and hazardous environments. Tan’s most significant contribution is the development of a novel CDPR system that integrates **three mobile cranes**, each equipped with a reconfigurable telescopic boom, to manipulate a cable-suspended end-effector. This architecture enables rapid deployment and repositioning in unstructured disaster zones, a critical advancement over fixed-base systems. His foundational paper on this topic (2020, 22 citations) has established a new paradigm for mobile manipulation. Building on this, Tan’s recent work (2024, 9 citations) provides a rigorous **stability analysis** using the **Zero Moment Point (ZMP)** concept, ensuring safe operation during reconfiguration. This analysis is essential for real-world deployment, where maintaining balance while moving the mobile bases and adjusting crane heights is paramount. Through his innovative integration of reconfigurable booms and mobile bases, Hor Tan is shaping the future of agile, resilient robotic systems for emergency response.
