Description
Summary:In this paper a complete forward kinematics analysis of a general Stewart-Gough platform is performed. A new methodology to deal with the forward kinematics problem based on a multibody formulation is presented. An iterative algorithm is proposed and the forward kinematics using a numerical method is solved. Finally, a design of a simulator using MATLAB as programming tool is presented.
