<p>
The discovery of the Cubic configuration is done in <a class='org-ref-reference' href="#geng94_six_degree_of_freed_activ">geng94_six_degree_of_freed_activ</a>.
</p>
<p>
The specificity of the Cubic configuration is that each actuator is orthogonal with the others:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
the active struts are arranged in a mutually orthogonal configuration connecting the corners of a cube.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The cubic (or orthogonal) configuration of the Stewart platform is now widely used (<a class='org-ref-reference' href="#preumont07_six_axis_singl_stage_activ">preumont07_six_axis_singl_stage_activ</a>,<a class='org-ref-reference' href="#jafari03_orthog_gough_stewar_platf_microm">jafari03_orthog_gough_stewar_platf_microm</a>).
</p>
<p>
According to <a class='org-ref-reference' href="#preumont07_six_axis_singl_stage_activ">preumont07_six_axis_singl_stage_activ</a>:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
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).
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
To generate and study the Cubic configuration, <code>generateCubicConfiguration</code> is used (description in section <a href="#orga8311d3">3.1</a>).
The goal is to study the benefits of using a cubic configuration:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Equal stiffness in all the degrees of freedom?</li>
<li>No coupling between the actuators?</li>
<li>Is the center of the cube an important point?</li>
</ul>
<div id="outline-container-org8c6677e" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="org8c6677e"><span class="section-number-2">1</span> Configuration Analysis - Stiffness Matrix</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
First, we have to understand what is the physical meaning of the Stiffness matrix \(\bm{K}\).
</p>
<p>
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 \(\{A\}\):
\[ \bm{\mathcal{F}} = \bm{K} \Delta\bm{\mathcal{X}} \]
</p>
<p>
with:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>\(\bm{\mathcal{F}} = [\bm{f}\ \bm{n}]^{T}\)</li>
<li>\(\Delta\bm{\mathcal{X}} = [\delta x, \delta y, \delta z, \delta \theta_{x}, \delta \theta_{y}, \delta \theta_{z}]^{T}\)</li>
</ul>
<p>
If the stiffness matrix is inversible, its inverse is the compliance matrix: \(\bm{C} = \bm{K}^{-1\) and:
\[ \Delta \bm{\mathcal{X}} = C \bm{\mathcal{F}} \]
</p>
<p>
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 \(\{A\}\).
</p>
<p>
One has to note that this is only valid in a static way.

Here are the conclusion about the Stiffness matrix for the Cubic configuration:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The cubic configuration permits to have \(k_x = k_y = k_z\) and \(k_{\theta_x} = k_{\theta_y}\)</li>
<li>The stiffness matrix \(K\) is diagonal for the cubic configuration if the Jacobian is estimated at the cube center.</li>

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-6">
<p>
Let&rsquo;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&rsquo;s center to be located above the top center.
</p>
<p>
Let&rsquo;s fix the Height of the Stewart platform and the position of frames \(\{A\}\) and \(\{B\}\):
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">H = 100e<span class="org-type">-</span>3; <span class="org-comment">% height of the Stewart platform [m]</span>
MO_B = 20e<span class="org-type">-</span>3; <span class="org-comment">% Position {B} with respect to {M} [m]</span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>
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&rsquo;s size:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Small Cube Size in Figure <a href="#org105635f">6</a></li>
<li>Medium Cube Size in Figure <a href="#org264ab9c">7</a></li>
<li>Large Cube Size in Figure <a href="#org52254fe">8</a></li>
</ul>
<p>
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&rsquo;s size but the required size of the platform is also increasing, so there is a trade-off here.
