About

Edmon Hok-Man Chan is a pioneering figure in the field of high-speed robotics, with a primary focus on the design and control of novel parallel manipulators. His most notable contribution is the development of DeltaBot, a cable-based ultra-high-speed robot introduced in his 2003 paper, which has garnered 19 citations and laid the groundwork for lightweight, low-inertia automation systems. Chan’s work addresses the critical industrial demand for rapid and precise positioning devices, challenging traditional serial robot architectures by leveraging cable-driven mechanisms to achieve exceptional speed while maintaining structural simplicity. His research has influenced advancements in automated manufacturing, where reduced moving inertia is paramount. Beyond DeltaBot, Chan’s broader contributions to parallel robotics have been recognized for their practical impact on assembly and pick-and-place operations. His innovative approach to cable-based actuation continues to inspire new generations of roboticists seeking to push the boundaries of speed and efficiency in industrial automation.
