Portable Self-Orientation System for Hand Movements Compensation

Abstract

This paper contains the description of a platform with two degrees of freedom which is controlled by two electric actuators. Being actuated only by two actuators, the platform can be made in miniature. In the present document the realization of a platform with two degrees of freedom is presented that can maintain the horizontal position of an object up to 10 N. The efficiency has been demonstrated by testing the device while walking and having as object a container with liquid. The purpose of the study is to minimize the costs of making such platforms and their widespread use in various fields (e.g. cup holder that can be mounted on car dashboard). The project is completely original and by choosing another processing system and other actuators and through improvement of algorithms a device for vibration elimination (e.g. the hand tremors) can be accomplished.
