Methods and apparatus to point a payload at a target

Abstract:

An example machine accessible medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, causes a machine to at least command a first actuator to move to a first corrected stroke position and a second actuator to move to a second corrected stroke position to point a payload at a target along a line of sight vector without verifying a target pointing direction of a base when the first and second actuators are positioned to the respective first and second corrected stroke positions and without using a feedback to verify the base being at the target pointing direction when the first and second actuators are positioned to the respective first and second corrected stroke positions.
