Typical operating conditions for mobile sensor systems, and in particular mobile robots, exhibit a wide range of mechanical disturbances due their ego-motion. Sensor systems mounted on these mobile platforms often suffer to varying degrees from these disturbances. The quality of acquired data is degraded as a result. For instance, the quality of captured video frames from an onboard camera greatly depends on the angular velocity of the body on which the camera is mounted. Motion blur degradation results if large angular motions are present. In order to compensate for such disturbances, stabilization platforms are used. A common approach is measuring body movements using inertial sensors and attempting their cancellation with actuators and control systems. Design of high performance control systems often requires analytical system models. In this article, a planar stabilization platform is considered, to develop and study its kinematic and simple-to-complex dynamic model. The mathematical derivation of the model is presented with and without neglect of the actuator mass components as well as friction effects. This is followed by the comparative validation of these model alternatives against a realistic numerical model fitted to physical experimental data. The results demonstrate that the analytical model, in particular with the actuator mass and friction components included, provides a high degree of fit to the actual behavior.

Cogging Torque Disturbance Rejection for a Low-cost Gimbal Motor and a Controller Design with Practical Considerations
Ozdogan, Gokhan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2019-01-01)
In many robotic applications and inertially stabilized electro-optic gimbal systems, precise positioning and speed control are highly important concepts. Due to size and weight limitations, motor is required to be small but torque density is desired to be high. In high torque and cheap PMSM and BLDC motors, cogging torque and friction are usually the challenging disturbance sources. In this study, cogging torque and friction are identified using position sensors which already exist in gimbal systems, so the...
Fuzzy Decision Fusion for Single Target Classification in Wireless Sensor Networks
Gok, Sercan; Yazıcı, Adnan; Coşar, Ahmet; George, Roy (2010-07-23)
With the advances in technology, low cost and low footprint sensors are being used more and more commonly. Especially for military applications wireless sensor networks (WSN) have become an attractive solution as they have great use for avoiding deadly danger in combat. For military applications, classification of a target in a battlefield plays an important role. A wireless sensor node has the ability to sense the raw signal data in battlefield, extract the feature vectors from sensed signal and produce a ...
Performance evaluation of piezoelectric sensor/actuator on active vibration control of a smart beam
Şahin, Melin (SAGE Publications, 2011-01-01)
In this paper the performance of a piezoelectric sensor/actuator pair and self-sensing piezoelectric actuator on the investigation of vibration characteristics and active vibration control of a smart beam are presented. The performance of piezoelectric patches on actuation and sensing is evaluated by investigating the vibration characteristics of the smart beam via various excitation mechanisms and transduction systems. For active vibration suppression of the smart beam, robust controllers are designed and ...
Camera motion blur and its effect on feature detectors
Üzer, Ferit; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Perception, hence the usage of visual sensors is indispensable in mobile and autonomous robotics. Visual sensors such as cameras, rigidly mounted on a robot frame are the most common usage scenario. In this case, the motion of the camera due to the motion of the moving platform as well as the resulting shocks or vibrations causes a number of distortions on video frame sequences. Two most important ones are the frame-to-frame changes of the line-of-sight (LOS) and the presence of motion blur in individual fr...
Nonlinear vibration isolation of inertial measurement unit
Dönmez, Ata; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
In engineering systems, dynamic parameters of systems such as acceleration, velocity, etc. are measured instantaneously to provide feedback for control systems. Since measurement equipment is sensitive to vibratory environment, performance of them is directly related to how effectively vibration is isolated. Linear vibration isolation systems have limitations due to static deflections and damping characteristic. Therefore, nonlinear elements can be used to improve isolation performance.In this thesis, first...
