  • Lever mechanism to amplify the motion of piezoelectric stack actuators
  • Use of flexure joints
  • Eddy current displacement sensors for control (decentralized)

  • Isotropic performance (cubic configuration even if not said so)

Possible sources of error:

  • position error of the link ends in assembly => simulation of position error and it is not significant
  • Inaccurate modelling of the links
  • insufficient generative force
  • unwanted deformation of the links

To minimize the errors, a calibration is done between the required leg length and the wanted platform pose. Then, it is fitted with 4th order polynomial and included in the control architecture.
