Abstract

This work describes a computer simulation of the dynamics and control of a robotic micropositioner. The robotic micropositioner is a parallel link manipulator which has six actuators, each controlled independently by a hydraulic system. The dynamic equations of the micropositioner are derived. The control algorithm for path tracing is formulated and tested. In this work the performance of the micropositioner is investigated as function of damping, speed, payload, and location of target.
