On the Spatial Impedance Control of Levitated Platforms

Abstract This paper looks at the control of mechanical impedance of six degree-offreedom, electrodynamically levitated platforms, assuming small motions. Geometric potential function, exponential map and quaternion-based methods are compared. Theoretical and simulation results are given.
