A MINIATURISED ONBOARD PLATFORM FOR OPTIC SENSORS STABILIZATION ON A SMALL UAV PLATFORM
Abstract
A miniaturized on-board platform for optic sensors stabilization is the proposed concept developed and tested by a multidisciplinary team of engineers under a UEFISCDI (the Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding in Romania) research funding. The need for a UAV to capture images and give in-depth information of ground objects is fulfilled by the developed three-axial stabilized optical system. Modern techniques, technologies and state-of-the-art electronics are employed in the design process - by use of CAD, FEM and CFD software for multiple potential configurations trials; in the manufacturing endeavourwith 3D printing and CNC machining, as well as for software and hardware implementation and simulation testing- by use of robust control algorithms and adaptive control methods. The selected exterior shell of the optical system was derived under dimensional constrains imposed by the aerial platform, for aerodynamic efficiency and structural strength. The electric motors were selected for reliability and endurance under: weight and dimensional constraints.
