摘要

Multi-point airbag supported platforms are widely used in many occasions since their postures could be adjusted due to different demands. External disturbances could cause the platforms to deviate from the equilibrium position, which is not allowed in practice. Therefore, the attitude control for the platforms is of critical importance. In this work, a co-simulation attitude control model was developed through a dynamic model in ADAMS and an attitude control algorithm module using MATLAB. The attitude changing process was simulated. In addition, a physical prototype was constructed, and the co-simulation model was proved reliable by comparing the simulations with the experimental results. Unlike conventional methods usually involving physical setups, this approach could provide a low-cost solution for validating future control methods and it would not result in significant cost wastage even if the validation fails, which has great practical value.
