Development and Outlook for Multi-degree-of-freedom Platforms

Abstract

Background: Multi-degree-of-freedom platforms are frequently employed in space docking devices, motion modeling, and robotics. Complex research is being done on multi-degree-of-freedom platforms, including work on spatial route creation, control simulation, and forward and backward platform motion solutions. The development of research platforms in their current state is advantageous for advancing multi-degree-of-freedom motion research, which has the potential to advance numerous sectors through new technology. Objective：The benefits and drawbacks of various platforms are explored to analyze the development trend of platforms for academics and engineers through the most recent development of multi-degree-of-freedom platforms. Methods：By the research methodology, research substance, and inventive structure of the most recent representative patents of the multi-degree-of-freedom platform, the platform's operating principle and characteristics are demonstrated. Results: By contrasting multi-degree-of-freedom platforms in various application domains, the issues with current mul-ti-degree-of-freedom platforms are enumerated, and the platforms' potential future development path and research topics are suggested. Conclusion：The growth of the aviation, medical, and military industries is aided by the development of multi-degree-of-freedom platforms, and the flexible distribution of high-precision parallel platforms has promising future development.
