Abstract:
Camera attitude control systems for robots require a compact structure and high responsiveness. However, due to the combination structure of several actuators, the camera attitude control system is large. To address this issue, this study proposes a three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) voice coil actuator. A single actuator is used to generate 3DOF motion, which is driven by a four-phase current. This study also describes the basic structure and operating principle of the actuator and clarifies the torque characteristics using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM). Furthermore, the dynamic modeling and control methods are presented. The FEM and dynamic simulation results reveal that the proposed actuator can be arbitrarily driven in 3DOF.
