Research on position inverse solution of electric‐driven Stewart platform based on Simulink

Abstract

The structural characteristics and modes of the Stewart platform driven by electric cylinders are briefly introduced. Based on Simulink, the modelling method of the platform is analysed. To obtain the coordinate transformation of Stewart platform, the rotation matrix and homogeneous transformation are resolved, and the mathematical model of the electric-driven Stewart platform is established related to the structural characteristics. The simulation model of input and output signals is constructed by using graphical user interface (GUI) module provided by Simulink. The motion simulation curves of six electric actuators under different position and posture are obtained, which gives benefit to understand and control the different motion states of the electric-driven Stewart platform.
