Abstract: A model of the solution space for all the sensor mechanisms
based on the Stewart platform is established, which is a novel
and useful tool for investigation of the optimal sensor design.
A kind of performance evaluation atlases are plotted within the
model of the solution space, which clearly show relationships
between the condition number of Jacobjan matrix and parameters of
all the sensor mechanisms. By using the performance atlases, and
optimal design for the sensor mechanism can be achieved. Because
the elastic joints are proposed for replacing the spherical
joints, the Stewart-platform-based sensor can be designed as
small as possible.
