A Washout and a Tilt Coordination Algorithm for a Hexapod Platform

Abstract

In this paper the modeling and simulation of a six degree of freedom hexapod platform simulator is presented. The simulator is used for vehicle driving simulations. Washout algorithms are used for the control of the platform. Components of the washout algorithms are low pass filters and high pass filters, as well as a tilt coordination algorithm. A test with realistic input acceleration data of a vehicle maneuver is performed to verify the model.
