A Visual Tracing Control Platform Based on Multi-Axis Linear Drive

Abstract:

This paper intends to present a stable imaging platform for the visual system of autonomous robot, aiming at improving the non-optimal quality of image which is caused by tremor, vibration, slope alteration as well as rapid movement of the target during the moving process in intricate circumstances. According to the mechanism of human optical system, a bionic imaging platform driven by multi-axis linear motors is given, in which the function of swift tracing is integrated. Moreover, a better tracking effect and capacities of anti-interference can be available due to the high response of linear motor when comparing to the traditional bionic eye. This research also contributes fundamental approaches to the framework designs of the visual system of autonomous robot.
