Abstract: A calibration system includes a grid assembly, a platform, and a controller. The grid assembly includes at least one planar grid. The platform couples to a device under test (DUT) and move the DUT to a plurality of test positions in accordance with a motion sequence. Each test position is reached by a rotation about at most two different axes, and as the DUT moves through the motion sequence, at least one camera on the DUT captures image information describing portions of the grid assembly and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) on the DUT captures IMU information. The controller determines calibration information for the at least one camera on the DUT and for the IMU based in part on a parameterized model of the motion sequence of the DUT, the captured image information, and the captured IMU information.

Abstract: A stepper motor may be controlled by a controller to provide extended revolution of a motor shaft while operating in a first mode and to allow a user to manually intervene with an intended position or rotation of the motor shaft while operating in a second mode. In some embodiments, the controller may adjust a torque applied to the stepper mode during operation of the stepper motor. The controller may reduce a torque applied by the stepper motor to a lower torque while the user intervenes with the intended position or rotation of the motor and increase the torque to a holding torque after the user intervention has ended. Thus, the controller may dynamically adjust a torque of the stepper motor in response to detection of the user intervention.

Abstract: A device includes a projection and camera system to create an augmented reality environment in which images are projected onto a scene and user movement within the scene is captured. In one implementation, the projection and camera system are mounted in a movable housing or head that is supported by a repositionable support structure. The housing can be moved to a desired position and then locked into a stationary and stable position for creation of the augmented realty environment.
