Stewart platforms are generated in multiple steps.
</p>
<p>
We define 4 important <b>frames</b>:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>\(\{F\}\): Frame fixed to the <b>Fixed</b> base and located at the center of its bottom surface.
This is used to fix the Stewart platform to some support.</li>
<li>\(\{M\}\): Frame fixed to the <b>Moving</b> platform and located at the center of its top surface.
This is used to place things on top of the Stewart platform.</li>
<li>\(\{A\}\): Frame fixed to the fixed base.
It defined the center of rotation of the moving platform.</li>
<li>\(\{B\}\): Frame fixed to the moving platform.
The motion of the moving platforms and forces applied to it are defined with respect to this frame \(\{B\}\).</li>
</ul>
<p>
Then, we define the <b>location of the spherical joints</b>:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>\(\bm{a}_{i}\) are the position of the spherical joints fixed to the fixed base</li>
<li>\(\bm{b}_{i}\) are the position of the spherical joints fixed to the moving platform</li>
</ul>
<p>
We define the <b>rest position</b> of the Stewart platform:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>For simplicity, we suppose that the fixed base and the moving platform are parallel and aligned with the vertical axis at their rest position.</li>
<li>Thus, to define the rest position of the Stewart platform, we just have to defined its total height \(H\).
\(H\) corresponds to the distance from the bottom of the fixed base to the top of the moving platform.</li>
</ul>
<p>
From \(\bm{a}_{i}\) and \(\bm{b}_{i}\), we can determine the <b>length and orientation of each strut</b>:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>\(l_{i}\) is the length of the strut</li>
<li>\({}^{A}\hat{\bm{s}}_{i}\) is the unit vector align with the strut</li>
</ul>
<p>
The position of the Spherical joints can be computed using various methods:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Cubic configuration</li>
<li>Circular configuration</li>
<li>Arbitrary position</li>
<li>These methods should be easily scriptable and corresponds to specific functions that returns \({}^{F}\bm{a}_{i}\) and \({}^{M}\bm{b}_{i}\).
The input of these functions are the parameters corresponding to the wanted geometry.</li>
</ul>
<p>
For Simscape, we need:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The position and orientation of each spherical joint fixed to the fixed base: \({}^{F}\bm{a}_{i}\) and \({}^{F}\bm{R}_{a_{i}}\)</li>
<li>The position and orientation of each spherical joint fixed to the moving platform: \({}^{M}\bm{b}_{i}\) and \({}^{M}\bm{R}_{b_{i}}\)</li>
<li>The rest length of each strut: \(l_{i}\)</li>
<li>The stiffness and damping of each actuator: \(k_{i}\) and \(c_{i}\)</li>
<li>The position of the frame \(\{A\}\) with respect to the frame \(\{F\}\): \({}^{F}\bm{O}_{A}\)</li>
<li>The position of the frame \(\{B\}\) with respect to the frame \(\{M\}\): \({}^{M}\bm{O}_{B}\)</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="org3273efc"><span class="section-number-2">1</span> Procedure</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
The procedure to define the Stewart platform is the following:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>Define the initial position of frames {A}, {B}, {F} and {M}.
We do that using the <code>initializeFramesPositions</code> function.
We have to specify the total height of the Stewart platform \(H\) and the position \({}^{M}O_{B}\) of {B} with respect to {M}.</li>
<li>Compute the positions of joints \({}^{F}a_{i}\) and \({}^{M}b_{i}\).
We can do that using various methods depending on the wanted architecture:
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>generateCubicConfiguration</code> permits to generate a cubic configuration</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Compute the position and orientation of the joints with respect to the fixed base and the moving platform.
This is done with the <code>computeJointsPose</code> function.</li>
<li>Define the dynamical properties of the Stewart platform.
The output are the stiffness and damping of each strut \(k_{i}\) and \(c_{i}\).
This can be done we simply choosing directly the stiffness and damping of each strut.
The stiffness and damping of each actuator can also be determine from the wanted stiffness of the Stewart platform for instance.</li>
<li>Define the mass and inertia of each element of the Stewart platform.</li>
</ol>
<p>
By following this procedure, we obtain a Matlab structure <code>stewart</code> that contains all the information for the Simscape model and for further analysis.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-8-3">
<p>
For inverse kinematic analysis, it is assumed that the position \({}^A\bm{P}\) and orientation of the moving platform \({}^A\bm{R}_B\) are given and the problem is to obtain the joint variables, namely, \(\bm{L} = [l_1, l_2, \dots, l_6]^T\).
</p>
<p>
From the geometry of the manipulator, the loop closure for each limb, \(i = 1, 2, \dots, 6\) can be written as
</p>
\begin{align*}
l_i {}^A\hat{\bm{s}}_i &= {}^A\bm{A} + {}^A\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i \\
&= {}^A\bm{A} + {}^A\bm{R}_b {}^B\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i
\end{align*}
<p>
To obtain the length of each actuator and eliminate \(\hat{\bm{s}}_i\), it is sufficient to dot multiply each side by itself:
</p>
\begin{equation}
l_i^2 \left[ {}^A\hat{\bm{s}}_i^T {}^A\hat{\bm{s}}_i \right] = \left[ {}^A\bm{P} + {}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i \right]^T \left[ {}^A\bm{P} + {}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i - {}^A\bm{a}_i \right]
\end{equation}
<p>
Hence, for \(i = 1, 2, \dots, 6\), each limb length can be uniquely determined by:
</p>
\begin{equation}
l_i = \sqrt{{}^A\bm{P}^T {}^A\bm{P} + {}^B\bm{b}_i^T {}^B\bm{b}_i + {}^A\bm{a}_i^T {}^A\bm{a}_i - 2 {}^A\bm{P}^T {}^A\bm{a}_i + 2 {}^A\bm{P}^T \left[{}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i\right] - 2 \left[{}^A\bm{R}_B {}^B\bm{b}_i\right]^T {}^A\bm{a}_i}
\end{equation}
<p>
If the position and orientation of the moving platform lie in the feasible workspace of the manipulator, one unique solution to the limb length is determined by the above equation.
Otherwise, when the limbs&rsquo; lengths derived yield complex numbers, then the position or orientation of the moving platform is not reachable.
