An overwhelming controller provides robustness against uncertain parameters, disturbances and un-modelled dynamics. A simplified inverse dynamics model is used in this article to develop an overwhelming controller for a parallel manipulator (a Stewart platform), where the controller accommodates the modelling uncertainties such as the simplifications made for development of the inverse model in...

6‐DOF parallel robot always appears in the form of Stewart platform. It has been widely used in industry for the benefits such as strong structural stiffness, high movement accuracy and so on. Space docking technology makes higher requirements of motion accuracy and dynamic performance to the control method on 6‐DOF parallel robot. In this paper, a hydraulic 6‐DOF p...

AIM To determine the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of using a robot for holding and maneuvering the endoscope in transnasal transsphenoidal surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS The system used in this study was a Stewart Platform based robotic system that was developed by Kocaeli University Department of Mechatronics Engineering for positioning and holding of endoscope. After the first ...
