Stewart Platform Motion Control Automation with Industrial Resources to Perform Cycloidal and Oceanic Wave Trajectories

Changes in Pilot Control Behaviour across Stewart Platform Motion Systems

Low-cost motion systems have been proposed for certain training tasks that would otherwise be performed on high-performance full flight simulators. These systems have shorter stroke actuators, lower bandwidth, and higher noise. The influence of these characteristics on pilot perception and control behaviour is unknown, and can be investigated by simulating a model of a simulator with limited ca...

Cybersecurity for Industrial Automation & Control

ZigBee in Building Industrial Control and Automation

With the development of industrial automation technology, the limitation of traditional cable control network has become increasingly prominent. Consequently, establishing a reliable data transmission network becomes a critical demand in industry. Increasingly, companies developing monitoring and control applications in industrial and commercial building environments are looking to wireless tec...

Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems

The security of industrial automation and control systems becomes increasingly critical as different networks are connected and systems are integrated in a collaborative manufacturing environment. For industrial automation and control systems the potential impact of an attack may be more serious than for computer systems in general. Users of industrial automation and control systems need to pay...

Modeling and Control of a Pneumatically Driven Stewart Platform

Electrically driven Stewart platforms are used in the field of machine tooling and robotics, where very accurate positions have to be reached associated with heavy loads. In this paper we present a pneumatically driven Stewart platform powered by fluidic air muscles. Due to the elasticity of the muscles and air as driving medium, the robot is predestined for applications where compliance plays ...
