![]() A general overview on the possible design solutions is reported, then the machine architecture as well as the kinematic and dynamic analysis is discussed. Extreme events were considered for the definition of the robot requirements and performance. This paper presents the design process of a 6-Degrees-of-Freedom robot for simulating the dynamics of FOWTs in wind tunnel scale experiments, as a complementary approach with respect to ocean wind-wave basin scale tests. Moreover, due to the combined aerodynamic and hydrodynamic contributions to the dynamics of FOWTs, experimental tests should take into account both. To this end, due to the lack of a large amount of full scale data available, scale tests represent a remarkable tool. The reliabilty of such prediction tools for designers requires experimental validation. Sophisticated computational aero-hydro-elastic tools are being developed for simulating the dynamics of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs).
