Abstract

We present a low-cost design of a stabilized platform to position sensors in aerial vehicles. The stabilization system has been designed to provide enough precision for vehicles flying at an altitude of <2000 m and a speed of <400 km/h. The design comprises a 3-axis accelerometer/gyroscope kit, an embedded controller (executing a Kalman filter and a postprocessing smoothing algorithm) and a kit of 3-axis orthogonally mounted high-torque servos.
