  • Patent number: 11402174
    Abstract: A self-stabilizing small arm having a barrel assembly rigidly connected to a stock assembly. The small arm includes at least one shooter interface surface and a stabilization assembly controlling the relative position of the shooter interface surface and the barrel assembly or stock assembly. The stabilization assembly includes (i) at least one movement sensor; (ii) at least one actuator; and (iii) a controller using signals from the movement sensor to operate the actuator in order to compensate for unintended movement of the small arm.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220163282
    Abstract: A stabilization device including a hand support configured to be supported by human operation, an actuator connected to the hand support and a mounting assembly affixed to the actuator and configured to be attached to an external device capable of being supported under human operation. The actuator provides compensating planar motion to the hand support under control of a motion detection and compensation controller when the motion detection and compensation controller detects motion associated with the hand support being supported under human operation. The actuator includes a first rotatable shaft providing a first compensation motion to the hand support within the planar motion, and a second rotatable shaft providing a second compensation motion to the hand support within the planar motion under control of the motion detection and compensation controller, where the second compensation motion is orthogonal to the first compensation motion.
