* Introduction :ignore:
|
|
The Cubic configuration for the Stewart platform was first proposed in cite:geng94_six_degree_of_freed_activ.
|
|
This configuration is quite specific in the sense that the active struts are arranged in a mutually orthogonal configuration connecting the corners of a cube.
|
|
This configuration is now widely used (cite:preumont07_six_axis_singl_stage_activ,jafari03_orthog_gough_stewar_platf_microm).
|
|
|
|
According to cite:preumont07_six_axis_singl_stage_activ, the cubic configuration offers the following advantages:
|
|
#+begin_quote
|
|
This topology provides a uniform control capability and a uniform stiffness in all directions, and it minimizes the cross-coupling amongst actuators and sensors of different legs (being orthogonal to each other).
|
|
#+end_quote
|
|
|
|
In this document, the cubic architecture is analyzed:
|
|
- In section [[sec:cubic_conf_stiffness]], we study the link between the Stiffness matrix and the cubic architecture and we find what are the conditions to obtain a diagonal stiffness matrix
|
|
- In section [[sec:cubic_conf_above_platform]], we study cubic configurations where the cube's center is located above the mobile platform
|
|
- In section [[sec:cubic_conf_size_analysis]], we study the effect of the cube's size on the Stewart platform properties
|
|
- In section [[sec:cubic_conf_coupling]], we study the dynamic coupling of the cubic configuration
|
|
|
|
To generate and study the Stewart platform with a Cubic configuration, the Matlab function =generateCubicConfiguration= is used (described [[sec:generateCubicConfiguration][here]]).
|
|
|
|
* Configuration Analysis - Stiffness Matrix
|
|
<<sec:cubic_conf_stiffness>>
|
|
** Introduction :ignore:
|
|
First, we have to understand what is the physical meaning of the Stiffness matrix $\bm{K}$.
|
|
|
|
The Stiffness matrix links forces $\bm{f}$ and torques $\bm{n}$ applied on the mobile platform at $\{B\}$ to the displacement $\Delta\bm{\mathcal{X}}$ of the mobile platform represented by $\{B\}$ with respect to $\{A\}$:
|
|
\[ \bm{\mathcal{F}} = \bm{K} \Delta\bm{\mathcal{X}} \]
|
|
|
|
with:
|
|
- $\bm{\mathcal{F}} = [\bm{f}\ \bm{n}]^{T}$
|
|
- $\Delta\bm{\mathcal{X}} = [\delta x, \delta y, \delta z, \delta \theta_{x}, \delta \theta_{y}, \delta \theta_{z}]^{T}$
|
|
|
|
If the stiffness matrix is inversible, its inverse is the compliance matrix: $\bm{C} = \bm{K}^{-1$ and:
|
|
\[ \Delta \bm{\mathcal{X}} = C \bm{\mathcal{F}} \]
|
|
|
|
Thus, if the stiffness matrix is diagonal, the compliance matrix is also diagonal and a force (resp. torque) $\bm{\mathcal{F}}_i$ applied on the mobile platform at $\{B\}$ will induce a pure translation (resp. rotation) of the mobile platform represented by $\{B\}$ with respect to $\{A\}$.
|
|
|
|
One has to note that this is only valid in a static way.
|
|
|
|
We here study what makes the Stiffness matrix diagonal when using a cubic configuration.

** Cubic Stewart platform centered with the cube center - Jacobian estimated at the cube center
|
|
We create a cubic Stewart platform (figure [[fig:cubic_conf_centered_J_center]]) in such a way that the center of the cube (black star) is located at the center of the Stewart platform (blue dot).
|
|
The Jacobian matrix is estimated at the location of the center of the cube.

** Cubic Stewart platform not centered with the cube center - Jacobian estimated at the Stewart platform center

Here, the "center" of the Stewart platform is not at the cube center.

The Jacobian is estimated at the center of the Stewart platform.

The center of the cube is at $z = 110$.

The Stewart platform is from $z = H_0 = 75$ to $z = H_0 + H_{tot} = 175$.

The center height of the Stewart platform is then at $z = \frac{175-75}{2} = 50$.

** Conclusion
|
|
#+begin_important
|
|
Here are the conclusion about the Stiffness matrix for the Cubic configuration:
|
|
- The cubic configuration permits to have $k_x = k_y = k_z$ and $k_{\theta_x} = k_{\theta_y}$
|
|
- The stiffness matrix $K$ is diagonal for the cubic configuration if the Jacobian is estimated at the cube center.

* Configuration with the Cube's center above the mobile platform
|
|
<<sec:cubic_conf_above_platform>>
|
|
** Introduction :ignore:
|
|
We saw in section [[sec:cubic_conf_stiffness]] that in order to have a diagonal stiffness matrix, we need the cube's center to be located at frames $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$.
|
|
Or, we usually want to have $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$ located above the top platform where forces are applied and where displacements are expressed.
|
|
|
|
We here see if the cubic configuration can provide a diagonal stiffness matrix when $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$ are above the mobile platform.

** Having Cube's center above the top platform
|
|
Let's say we want to have a diagonal stiffness matrix when $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$ are located above the top platform.
|
|
Thus, we want the cube's center to be located above the top center.
|
|
|
|
Let's fix the Height of the Stewart platform and the position of frames $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$:
|
|
#+begin_src matlab
|
|
H = 100e-3; % height of the Stewart platform [m]
|
|
MO_B = 20e-3; % Position {B} with respect to {M} [m]
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
We find the several Cubic configuration for the Stewart platform where the center of the cube is located at frame $\{A\}$.
|
|
The differences between the configuration are the cube's size:
|
|
- Small Cube Size in Figure [[fig:stewart_cubic_conf_type_1]]
|
|
- Medium Cube Size in Figure [[fig:stewart_cubic_conf_type_2]]
|
|
- Large Cube Size in Figure [[fig:stewart_cubic_conf_type_3]]
|
|
|
|
For each of the configuration, the Stiffness matrix is diagonal with $k_x = k_y = k_y = 2k$ with $k$ is the stiffness of each strut.
|
|
However, the rotational stiffnesses are increasing with the cube's size but the required size of the platform is also increasing, so there is a trade-off here.
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src matlab
|
|
Hc = 0.4*H; % Size of the useful part of the cube [m]
|
|
FOc = H + MO_B; % Center of the cube with respect to {F}

** Conclusion
|
|
#+begin_important
|
|
We found that we can have a diagonal stiffness matrix using the cubic architecture when $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$ are located above the top platform.
|
|
Depending on the cube's size, we obtain 3 different configurations.

* Cubic size analysis
|
|
<<sec:cubic_conf_size_analysis>>
|
|
** Introduction :ignore:
|
|
We here study the effect of the size of the cube used for the Stewart Cubic configuration.
|
|
|
|
We fix the height of the Stewart platform, the center of the cube is at the center of the Stewart platform and the frames $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$ are also taken at the center of the cube.
|
|
|
|
We only vary the size of the cube.

** Analysis
|
|
We initialize the wanted cube's size.
|
|
#+begin_src matlab :results silent
|
|
Hcs = 1e-3*[250:20:350]; % Heights for the Cube [m]
|
|
Ks = zeros(6, 6, length(Hcs));
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
The height of the Stewart platform is fixed:
|
|
#+begin_src matlab
|
|
H = 100e-3; % height of the Stewart platform [m]
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
The frames $\{A\}$ and $\{B\}$ are positioned at the Stewart platform center as well as the cube's center:
|
|
#+begin_src matlab
|
|
MO_B = -50e-3; % Position {B} with respect to {M} [m]
|
|
FOc = H + MO_B; % Center of the cube with respect to {F}
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src matlab :exports none
|
|
stewart = initializeStewartPlatform();
|
|
stewart = initializeFramesPositions(stewart, 'H', H, 'MO_B', MO_B);
|
|
for i = 1:length(Hcs)
|
|
Hc = Hcs(i);
|
|
stewart = generateCubicConfiguration(stewart, 'Hc', Hc, 'FOc', FOc, 'FHa', 0, 'MHb', 0);
|
|
stewart = computeJointsPose(stewart);
|
|
stewart = initializeStrutDynamics(stewart, 'K', ones(6,1));
|
|
stewart = computeJacobian(stewart);
|
|
Ks(:,:,i) = stewart.kinematics.K;
|
|
end
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
We find that for all the cube's size, $k_x = k_y = k_z = k$ where $k$ is the strut stiffness.
|
|
We also find that $k_{\theta_x} = k_{\theta_y}$ and $k_{\theta_z}$ are varying with the cube's size (figure [[fig:stiffness_cube_size]]).

** Conclusion
|
|
We observe that $k_{\theta_x} = k_{\theta_y}$ and $k_{\theta_z}$ increase linearly with the cube size.
|
|
|
|
#+begin_important
|
|
In order to maximize the rotational stiffness of the Stewart platform, the size of the cube should be the highest possible.
