The goal is to choose \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(R_\text{leg, t}\) and \(R_\text{leg, b}\) in such a way that the configuration is cubic.
</p>
<p>
The configuration is cubic if:
\[ \overrightarrow{a_i b_i} \cdot \overrightarrow{a_j b_j} = 0, \ \forall i, j = [1, \hdots, 6], i \ne j \]
</p>
<p>
Lets express \(a_i\), \(b_i\) and \(a_j\):
</p>
\begin{equation*}
a_1 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 - \alpha) \\ R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 - \alpha) \\ 0\end{bmatrix} ; \quad
a_2 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 + \alpha) \\ R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 + \alpha) \\ 0\end{bmatrix} ; \quad
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}

** Verification of Height of the Stewart Platform
If the Stewart platform is not contained in the cube, throw an error.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Hmax = cube(4, 3) - cube(2, 3);
if opts.H0 < cube(2, 3)
error(sprintf('H0 is not high enought. Minimum H0 = %.1f', cube(2, 3)));
else if opts.H0 + opts.H > cube(4, 3)
error(sprintf('H0+H is too high. Maximum H0+H = %.1f', cube(4, 3)));
error('H0+H is too high');
end
#+end_src
** Determinate the location of the joints
We now determine the location of the joints on the fixed platform w.r.t the fixed frame $\{A\}$.
$\{A\}$ is fixed to the bottom of the base.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Aa = zeros(6, 3);
for i = 1:6
t = (opts.H0-legs_start(i, 3))/(legs(i, 3));
Aa(i, :) = legs_start(i, :) + t*legs(i, :);
end
#+end_src
And the location of the joints on the mobile platform with respect to $\{A\}$.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Ab = zeros(6, 3);
for i = 1:6
t = (opts.H0+opts.H-legs_start(i, 3))/(legs(i, 3));
Ab(i, :) = legs_start(i, :) + t*legs(i, :);
end
#+end_src
And the location of the joints on the mobile platform with respect to $\{B\}$.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Bb = zeros(6, 3);
Bb = Ab - (opts.H0 + opts.H_tot/2 + opts.H/2)*[0, 0, 1];
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :results none
h = opts.H0 + opts.H/2 - opts.H_tot/2;
Aa = Aa - h*[0, 0, 1];
Ab = Ab - h*[0, 0, 1];
#+end_src
** Returns Stewart Structure
#+begin_src matlab :results none
stewart = struct();
stewart.Aa = Aa;
stewart.Ab = Ab;
stewart.Bb = Bb;
stewart.H_tot = opts.H_tot;
end

The goal is to choose $\alpha$, $\beta$, $R_\text{leg, t}$ and $R_\text{leg, b}$ in such a way that the configuration is cubic.
The configuration is cubic if:
\[ \overrightarrow{a_i b_i} \cdot \overrightarrow{a_j b_j} = 0, \ \forall i, j = [1, \hdots, 6], i \ne j \]
Lets express $a_i$, $b_i$ and $a_j$:
\begin{equation*}
a_1 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 - \alpha) \\ R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 - \alpha) \\ 0\end{bmatrix} ; \quad
a_2 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 + \alpha) \\ R_{\text{leg,b}} \cos(120 + \alpha) \\ 0\end{bmatrix} ; \quad
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
b_1 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg,t}} \cos(120 - \beta) \\ R_{\text{leg,t}} \cos(120 - \beta\\ H\end{bmatrix} ; \quad
b_2 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg,t}} \cos(120 + \beta) \\ R_{\text{leg,t}} \cos(120 + \beta\\ H\end{bmatrix} ; \quad
\end{equation*}
\[ \overrightarrow{a_1 b_1} = b_1 - a_1 = \begin{bmatrix}R_{\text{leg}} \cos(120 - \alpha) \\ R_{\text{leg}} \cos(120 - \alpha) \\ 0\end{bmatrix}\]
** Second attempt
We start with the point of a cube in space:
\begin{align*}
[0, 0, 0] ; \ [0, 0, 1]; \ ...
\end{align*}
We also want the cube to point upward:
\[ [1, 1, 1] \Rightarrow [0, 0, 1] \]
Then we have the direction of all the vectors expressed in the frame of the hexapod.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
points = [0, 0, 0; ...
0, 0, 1; ...
0, 1, 0; ...
0, 1, 1; ...
1, 0, 0; ...
1, 0, 1; ...
1, 1, 0; ...
1, 1, 1];
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :results none
figure;
plot3(points(:,1), points(:,2), points(:,3), 'ko')
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :results none
sx = cross([1, 1, 1], [1 0 0]);
sx = sx/norm(sx);
sy = -cross(sx, [1, 1, 1]);
sy = sy/norm(sy);
sz = [1, 1, 1];
sz = sz/norm(sz);
R = [sx', sy', sz']';
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :results none
cube = zeros(size(points));
for i = 1:size(points, 1)
cube(i, :) = R * points(i, :)';
end
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :results none
figure;
hold on;
plot3(points(:,1), points(:,2), points(:,3), 'ko');
plot3(cube(:,1), cube(:,2), cube(:,3), 'ro');
hold off;
#+end_src
Now we plot the legs of the hexapod.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
leg_indices = [3, 4; ...
2, 4; ...
2, 6; ...
5, 6; ...
5, 7; ...
3, 7]
figure;
hold on;
for i = 1:6
plot3(cube(leg_indices(i, :),1), cube(leg_indices(i, :),2), cube(leg_indices(i, :),3), '-');
end
hold off;
#+end_src
Vectors are:
#+begin_src matlab :results none
legs = zeros(6, 3);
legs_start = zeros(6, 3);
for i = 1:6
legs(i, :) = cube(leg_indices(i, 2), :) - cube(leg_indices(i, 1), :);
legs_start(i, :) = cube(leg_indices(i, 1), :)
end
#+end_src
We now have the orientation of each leg.
We here want to see if the position of the "slice" changes something.
Let's first estimate the maximum height of the Stewart platform.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Hmax = cube(4, 3) - cube(2, 3);
#+end_src
Let's then estimate the middle position of the platform
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Hmid = cube(8, 3)/2;
#+end_src
** Generate the Stewart platform for a Cubic configuration
First we defined the height of the Hexapod.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
H = Hmax/2;
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Zs = 1.2*cube(2, 3); % Height of the fixed platform
Ze = Zs + H; % Height of the mobile platform
#+end_src
We now determine the location of the joints on the fixed platform.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Aa = zeros(6, 3);
for i = 1:6
t = (Zs-legs_start(i, 3))/(legs(i, 3));
Aa(i, :) = legs_start(i, :) + t*legs(i, :);
end
#+end_src
And the location of the joints on the mobile platform
#+begin_src matlab :results none
Ab = zeros(6, 3);
for i = 1:6
t = (Ze-legs_start(i, 3))/(legs(i, 3));
Ab(i, :) = legs_start(i, :) + t*legs(i, :);
end
#+end_src
And we plot the legs.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
figure;
hold on;
for i = 1:6
plot3([Ab(i, 1),Aa(i, 1)], [Ab(i, 2),Aa(i, 2)], [Ab(i, 3),Aa(i, 3)], 'k-');
end
hold off;
xlim([-1, 1]);
ylim([-1, 1]);
zlim([0, 2]);
