Application of 6-DOF parallel manipulator for optoelectronic surveillance systems development

摘要

The paper presents an idea of application of 6-DOF (Degree Of Freedom) parallel manipulator for the simulation of vessel motion at different sea states. The simulator is designed for testing stabilization systems of optoelectronic devices. The 6-DOF manipulator is based on Stewart-Gouch kinematics. There are described three kinematic structures of potential optoelectronic devices stabilization systems. The first is based on a typical twoaxis gimbal.
