Abstract

This paper is concerned with the practical application of control to a pneumatically actuated Stewart-Gough platform with 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF). Two control approaches for motion control of the platform are presented using a classical control technique and a modern control technique. The control schemes experimental results are compared showing that either approach is suitable but with LQG giving slightly better performance.
