Abstract
A stabilized platform system includes a platform, a chassis subject to external vibration, first and second servomechanisms fixed to the chassis, first support having an end rotatably coupled to the first servomechanism and an other end rotatably coupled to the platform, a second support having an end rotatably coupled to the second servomechanism and an other end rotatably coupled to the platform, a third support having an end fixed relative to one of the chassis and an other end rotatably coupled to the platform, one or more sensors fixed to the platform, and a controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the first and the second servomechanisms. The controller causes the servomechanisms to adjust the inclination angles of the platform to maintain a desired orientation of the platform.
