**Stewart Platform** (Figure [1](#org2d8aec6)):
- Voice Coil
- Flexible joints (cross-blades)
- Force Sensors
- Cubic Configuration

Total mass of the paylaod: 30kg
Center of gravity is 9cm above the geometry center of the mount (cube's center?).
Limitation of the **Decentralized Force Feedback**:
- high frequency pole due to internal resonances of the struts
- low frequency zero due to the rotational stiffness of the flexible joints
After redesign of the struts:
- high frequency pole at 4.7kHz
- low frequency zero at 2.6Hz but non-minimum phase (not explained).
Small viscous damping material in the cross blade flexures made the zero minimum phase again.

The controller used consisted of:
- second order low pass filter to gain stabilize the plant at high frequencies and provide steep roll-off
- first order lead filter to provide adequate phase margin at the high frequency crossover
- first order lag filter to provide adequate phase margin at the low frequency crossover
- a first order high pass filter to attenuate the excess gain resulting from the low frequency zero
The results in terms of transmissibility are shown in Figure [3](#orgc669f80).
