Stewart Platform 6DOF Kit with Arduino Mega + Servo
Build a 6DOF Motion Platform with Arduino Mega & Servos – Stewart Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a platform that tilts, rotates, and translates in any direction under precise servo control. This kit lets you build a true 6-degree-of-freedom Stewart platform—the same mechanism used in flight simulators and robotic surgery. By assembling six MG90S servos on a parallel linkage and programming an Arduino Mega with inverse kinematics, you’ll control complex motion that most students only simulate in MATLAB.
What You'll Build
You’ll physically construct the 3D-printed platform, solder the servo driver and capacitor network, and wire the Arduino Mega and MPU6050 sensor. The result is a responsive motion stage that tilts a plane in real time or follows motion paths you design. It’s a functioning parallel robot, not a simulation.
What You'll Learn
- Solving inverse kinematics for a 6-legged parallel manipulator.
- Coordinated servo control using the PCA9685 driver over I2C.
- Closed-loop feedback integration with the MPU6050 gyro/accelerometer.
- Power management and soldering for six servos under dynamic load.

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE students tackling kinematics or control systems projects, Smart India Hackathon teams building motion simulators, and robotics enthusiasts at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani. If you’ve ever wanted to move beyond theoretical Jacobians and test real inverse kinematics on hardware, this is your kit.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI build companion, accessible via QR code, guides you step-by-step through inverse kinematics code and wiring. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human support.
Do I need prior experience with inverse kinematics?
Familiarity with transformation matrices and basic Arduino programming is helpful, but the AI companion includes code templates and explanations for the kinematics equations. You'll learn by building.
Can I use this platform for a flight simulator project?
Yes, the MPU6050 can act as an attitude sensor, and the platform responds to orientation changes. Many students demonstrate motion cueing concepts with this kit.
What if my servos jitter under load?
The kit includes 1000µF capacitors to smooth power and the PCA9685 ensures clean PWM signals. The AI companion covers tuning steps to eliminate jitter.
Six SG90 servos form a parallel Stewart platform. Inverse kinematics computes joint angles for 6DOF motion.
