  • Patent number: 8285416
    Abstract: A system and a method for stabilization control may control position and direction of an object having first and second bodies connected to each other. The system may include an artificial vestibular apparatus for outputting a movement signal corresponding to movement of the first body and a rotation signal corresponding to rotation of the first body; a translating actuation unit connected between the first and second bodies and controlling position of the second body in response to the movement signal; and a rotating actuation unit connected between the first and second bodies and controlling rotation of the second body in response to the rotation signal. If the system and the method are applied to a vision system of a mobile robot, the vision system may obtain stabile image information even when the mobile robot is moving. Thus, it is possible to prevent any blurring from occurring at the image information.
