Abstract

This paper presents a compilation of previous studies on the Stewart platform, which is a class of six degree of freedom parallel manipulators. The abstraction of a parallel manipulator is appropriated for the entire class of it. The paper focuses on the studies in the different fields which are closely checked to determine the direction of research and identify the solved problem areas. A significant investigation has been presented to discuss the existing methods for the analysis of the Stewart platform manipulator due to their unique applications. Studies on analysis and design of the Stewart platform manipulator using flexible joints are included. Modeling and analysis of parallel manipulators by Matlab SimMechanics environment are also highlighted.
