roughly like the NIST haxapod that Dave had at NAMES last year. Using
such a setup you have limited six axis of motion. Somewhere on the NIST
site is a rather good description of several of the experiments that were
done using cable connected Stewart platforms. I think that it was called
Reconfig.pdf.
>A car is a nonholonomic system.Some of the EMC was also tested with a Humvee with binocular vision and
used corrected GPS for posiion feedback. So the machines you think about
are not that far fetched. Nor would they be that difficult to build a
control for.
