Paper Abstract
The development of a prototype two degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism for application to unmanned ground
vehicle target tracking is presented. The mechanism is extremely simple, decoupling the two end-effector degrees-of-
freedom (DOFs) with an easily fabricated and inexpensive connection of passive joints. A summary of the
parallel mechanism's kinematic design and singularity analysis is provided. A 2-DOF tracking system using a
digital camera with a large time delay is presented. A command feedforward controller is designed to extend
the tracking bandwidth by approximately two octaves beyond that of the feedback controller without violating
causality. Experimental data is presented that shows improvement in the tracking performance by a factor of
2.4 over the feedback system alone.
