The practical design and construction of a Stewart Platform-based unilateral universal hand-controller is presented. It is also presented that such a design concept could be implemented by developing a technical method of determining the forward kinematics of a Stewart Platform in real time. In this work, the forward kinematics of a Stewart Platform has been determined in real time using three additional displacement sensors which eliminate the computational burden of solving the forward kinematics described in nonlinear simultaneous equations. The workspace of the Stewart Platform via inverse kinematics has been analyzed numerically and used as a design guide for the determination of the mechanism dimensions such as the sizes of the upper and base platforms and the minimum and maximum lengths of the legs. The hardware of the hand-controller has been constructed and tested to demonstrate the feasibility of the design concept.

The paper presents the experimental analysis of a Stewart platform-based force-torque senor. The closed-form solution of forward kinematics of the Stewart platform is derived approximately by way of a linearization technique, and the solution is used in the force analysis of the force-torque sensor. An exper- mental studies show that the proposed method including gravity compensation algorithm is valid for Stew- art platform-based force-torque sensors. The performance of the developed force-torque sensor is evaluated in view of accuracy and linearity in measurements.

This work presents the robust controller and the LQG/LTR controller for the stewart platform. To simplify the dynamics we combine equation of the stewart platform and linearized one of hydraulic actuators not considered condensability of the fluid. Through the connection of two dynamic equations we can omit force feedback process of actuators and design controllers for the whole system. We applied two controllers on the stewart platform and show the adequacy controllers through the result of simulation and experiment.

The Stewart Platform is a six-degree-of-freedom in-parallel-actuated manipiulator mechanism. The kinematic behavior of parallel mechanisms shows inverse characteristics as compared that of serial mechanisms; i.e, the inverse kinematic problem of Stewart Platform is straightforward, but no closed form solution of the forward kinematic problem has been previously presented. Thus it is difficult to calculate the 6 DOF displacement of the platform from the measured lengths of the six actuators in real time. Here, a real-time estimation algorithm which solves the Stewart Platform kinematic problem is proposed and tested through computer simulations and experiments. The proposed algorithm shows stable convergence characteristics, no estimation errors in steady state and good estimation performance with higher sampling rate. In experiments it is shown that the estimation result is the same as that of simulation even in the presence of measurement noise.

A balance maintain system of Stewart platform using AHRS(Attitude and Heading Reference System) sensor is introduced. The Stewart platform is used for controlling a standing plate to keep up horizontal level at any slopes. To know current leaned degrees, AHRS sensor is used. We made feed-back system that AHRS sensor sends current status and the Stewart platform revises top plate to be equilibrium state.

A stewart platform-based force/torque sensor with 6 elastic legs was designed and manufactured Kinematic design parameters were determined so that the force/torque sensor might have the isotropic force/torque properities. In a force/torque analysis, it was used the solution of forward kinematics by linearization of the solution of the inverse kinematics. The performance of te force/torque sensor was investigated by measurement experiments. The gravity compensation was conducted to reduce the force and torque effects by the weights of the upper plate, joints and other sensor parts.

A high power stewart platform is designed and manufactured to simulate the 6 degrees of freedom motion of moving vehicle. This paper describes the design of such a motion system including kinematic and kinetic analysis, real time servo control mechanical and hydraulic system configuration, and techniques of regeneration of test records. Discussions are also presented for an algorithm called remote parameter control, which has been developed to compensate the dynamic delay of the electro-hydraulic servo actuators and the nonlinearities of stewart platform.

A high speed tracking control for 6-6 Stewart platform manipulator is performed by employing the joint-axis sliding mode control based on dynamics. Because of the complex dynamics and kinematics of Stewart platform manipulator, two computer systems, consisting of a PC and a DSP, are adopted, so that real time tasks are run in synchronous and asynchronous modes. It is experimentally proven that the proposed control system leads to an easy to implement and effective control task, and it can achieve the high performance tracking control under the high speed and severe payload condition.
