The nano-hexapod has the following leg’s stiffness and damping.

initializeNanoHexapod('k', 1e5, 'c', 2e2);

We set the stiffness of the payload fixation:

Kp = 1e8; % [N/m]

2 Identification

We identify the system for the following payload masses:

Ms = [1, 10, 50];

Identification of the transfer function from \(\tau\) to \(d\mathcal{L}\). Identification of the Primary plant without virtual add of mass

4 Adding Virtual Mass in the Task Space

4.1 Plant

Let’s look at the transfer function from \(\bm{\mathcal{F}}\) to \(d\bm{\mathcal{X}}\): \[ \frac{d\bm{\mathcal{L}}}{\bm{\mathcal{F}}} = \bm{J}^{-1} \frac{d\bm{\mathcal{L}}}{\bm{\tau}} \bm{J}^{-T} \]
