Abstract

This paper focus on the calibration for 6-UPS Stewart platform. By the kinematic analysis, it is found that the error of final position and posture is mainly influenced by radius and 6 angles of joint of movable platform. Therefore, this paper proposes a calibration method which compensates the radius and 6 angles. According to the error analysis, a method of compensating the parameters is proposed, which applied interior-point algorithm. A simulation is set to verify this method. It indicates that the method could compensate simulated error and apparently reduce the error of 6 axis lengths.
