SUSPENDED PAYLOAD PLATFORM THRUSTED BY FLUID MASS FLOW GENERATORS

摘要

A fluid mass flow based thrusting system for facilitating full penduling actuation of single cable or parallel cables suspended payload especially but not exclusively for aerial tethered/cable suspended robots, rescue systems and crane systems is provided. The required position and orientation of the payload is provided with the use of additional actuators along desired trajectories. Using at least three fluid mass flow generators in the proposed geometrical arrangements enable the full actuation of the nutation, precession and rotation/yaw angles of the pendulum like a suspended payload platform (pp). The roll and pitch of the payload, e.g., and not by way of limitation, is to be set by additional fluid mass flow generators or by using windable orienting cables or gyros.
