Dynamic analysis and control of a Stewart platform manipulator. (English) Zbl 0774.70005

We study the dynamic equations of the Stewart platform manipulator. Because the dynamics are not explicitly given, we use a step-by-step algorithm. However, we give some insight into the structure and properties of these equations: We obtain compact expressions of some coefficients. These expressions should be interesting from a control point of view. A stiffness control scheme is designed for milling application. Some path-planning notions are discussed that take into account singularity positions and the required task.
