Abstract:  An experimental system of the novel mult- i degree of freedom (Mult- i DOF) platform driven by pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) was constructed in this paper.Based on the analysis of the kinematic property of the system‚a nonlinear dynamic model of the platform system was established in the form of a differential equation.Then‚it was transformed into the state space with the style of an affine nonlinear model.Furthermore‚by making a comparison between the numerical simulated and the experimental results‚the correctness of the model was proved and the nonlinear characteristics of the system were obtained.It is concluded that the mult- i DOF platform driven by PAM is of excellent controllability and stability.
