Vibration control of Stewart platform based on an improved nonlinear proportional-derivative control method by Ke Jin, Ruoning Wang, Yue Zhang, Xueyan Li

“…This paper proposes an improved switching nonlinear proportional-derivative (S-NPD) control algorithm for a six-degree-of-freedom Stewart platform which has strong nonlinearity and uncertainty characteristics, designed to achieve vibration isolation and suppression over a wide bandwidth range while solving the problem of the difficulty in parameter tuning. The controller is designed based on the idea of variable-structure control, which achieves independent real-time adjustments of the control gains of the six legs and takes the sign of the proportional and differential errors as the switching function to realize the feed-forward correction of the proportional gain. …”
