Reykjavík University Stewart Platform controlled by a DIY joystick

Kristófer Reykjalín shared a video of a Rotary Stewart Platform v2 driven from a home made joystick. A student group studying Mechatronics at Reykjavík University in Iceland used the Stewart Platform to demonstrate what they’ve been studying about control theory.

The team included Kristófer Reykjalín Þorláksson, Haukur Hlíðberg, and Stefán Óli Valdimarsson. Their professor is Joseph Timothy Foley.

Their code is uploaded on Github. Kristófer says the design files for the joystick will be there soon, too are also part of the Github package.

Paul says,

I’m a Makelangelo believer. It’s everything STEM is supposed to be. STEM is so huge in the states, that the term is often used to get attention. Makelangelo is the real deal.

We couldn’t say it better ourselves. Thanks, Paul. You rock!
