Mechatronic design and position control of a novel ball and plate system
Miad Moarref, Mohsen Saadat, Gholamreza Vossoughi · 2008
The mechatronic design of a novel mechanism for ball and plate system is discussed. A webcam provides the system with feedback of the ball's position. A heuristic technique for image processing is introduced. The kinematics and dynamics of the system are also described. Supervisory fuzzy control and sliding control techniques are proposed to perform position control for the system. Experimental results corroborate the validity of the controllers.
