On the Spatial impedance Control of Gough-Stewart Platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper looks at the control of mechanical impedance of the so-called G’ough-Stewart class of parallel platforms. Two methods of compliance control are presented. One is based on global potential energy functions that have previously been applied to controlling serial manipulators and electrodynamically levitated platforms. The second uses the exponential map to associate finite displacements of the platform from equilibrium with screw displacements. Compliant wrenches are then proportional to the screw displacements. Control of spatial damping is addressed as well, justifying the classification as impedance control. Control algorithms and simulation results are given.

The Control Number as Index for Stewart Gough Platforms
Singular postures of Stewart Gough Platforms must be avoided because close to singularities they lose controllable degrees of freedom. Hence there is an interest in a distance measure between the instantaneous configuration and the nearest singularity. This article presents such a measure, which is invariant under Euclidean motions and similarities, which has a geometric meaning and can be comp...
متن کاملPlanar Stewart Gough platforms with a type II DM self-motion
Due to previous publications of the author, it is already known that one-parametric self-motions of general planar Stewart Gough platforms can be classified into two so-called Darboux Mannheim (DM) types (I and II). Moreover, the author also proved the necessity of three conditions for obtaining a type II DM self-motion. Based on this result we determine in the article at hand, all general plan...
متن کاملSingularity-invariant leg rearrangements in doubly-planar Stewart-Gough platforms
In general, rearranging the legs of a Stewart-Gough platform, i.e., changing the locations of its leg attachments, modifies the platform singularity locus in a rather unexpected way. Nevertheless, some leg rearrangements have been recently found to leave singularities invariant but, unfortunately, these rearrangements are only valid for Stewart-Gough platforms containing rigid components. In th...
متن کاملReview and recent results on Stewart Gough platforms with self-motions
In Section 1, we give a review on Stewart Gough (SG) platforms with self-motions and the related Borel Bricard problem. Moreover, in Section 2, we report about recent results achieved by the author on this topic (SG platforms with type II DM self-motions). In context of these results, we also present two new theorems in Section 3, which open the way for addressed future work. In Section 4, we g...
متن کاملNon-existence of planar projective Stewart Gough platforms with elliptic self-motions
In this paper, we close the study on the self-motional behavior of nonarchitecturally singular parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough (SG) type, where the planar platform and the planar base are related by a projectivity κ , by showing that planar projective SG platforms with elliptic self-motions do not exist. The proof of this result demonstrates the power of geometric and computational inter...
