The field of Stewart-Gough platforms is moving towards improving the accuracy and efficiency of these platforms, with a focus on calibration techniques and advanced control methods. Researchers are exploring new approaches to calibration, including photogrammetry-based methods and inverse kinematic-based calibrations, to achieve precise and repeatable movements. The development of low-cost Stewart platform prototypes with integrated software frameworks is also a notable trend, enabling advanced research and educational applications. Noteworthy papers include:

• End-to-End Design and Validation of a Low-Cost Stewart Platform with Nonlinear Estimation and Control, which presents a complete design and validation of a low-cost Stewart platform prototype.
• Non-Invasive Calibration Of A Stewart Platform By Photogrammetry, which introduces a new forward kinematics-based calibration method using photogrammetry.
