Modeling and control system experiment of a novel series three-axis stable platform

Abstract. In this paper, a novel series three-axis stable platform (STSP) is proposed, and its azimuth angle structure, pitch angle structure, roll angle structure, overall system structure scheme, and control scheme are designed. The platform is a universal one. The forward and inverse kinematics and dynamics models of the STSP pitch-and-roll mechanisms are established, and the motion rules of the platform and the force conditions of the main components are analyzed. Establish a mathematical model of the platform control system, analyze the performance of the pitch-and-roll system of the STSP, propose a position velocity dual-closed-loop control strategy, and determine the controller parameters through simulation analysis of the control system. A comprehensive experiment is carried out to install the STSP on the swing platform; simulate the actual operating environment, verify the rationality and dynamic accuracy of the kinematic model, dynamic model, and control strategy; and verify the feasibility and stability of the system control scheme and platform configuration.
