The experiment with different vibrating masses vibrating into different directions showed a very good detection sensitivity of low vibrating masses, down to 0,5% of the payload range. This means that with the Stewart platform capable to move 20kg, a mass of 100g had been detected, if it was vibrating in the predefined...

Regarding the preparations of the fourth (final) demonstrator, these two months, mainly the focus was to handle the scanning of the steel frame (which is going to be the workspace in the demonstrator), finding the right orientation of the gripper regarding the inclination on the workspace and the cutting tasks separately. All...
