STABLE MOBILE PLATFORM FOR COORDINATE MEASUREMENT

Abstract:

Platforms configured to support coordinate measurement devices are described. The platforms include a base plate defining a stable mobile platform, at least one movement device configured to enable movement of the stable mobile platform, at least one stabilizing actuator configured to deploy a stabilizer to engage with a surface, the at least one stabilizing actuator moveable between a deployed state in which the stabilizer contacts a surface and a mobile state in which the at least one movement device contacts the surface, and a platform controller configured to drive movement of the stable mobile platform by controlling operation of the at least one movement device when the at least one stabilizing actuator is in the mobile state.
