Sampled data gyroscope stabilization of two degree of freedom platform

Main focus of this research is on stabilization of two degree of freedom platform. Previously, most of the work done on this specific problem is in continuous domain but here we designed a controller using sampled data control technique. Controller is designed for approximate equivalent system model using sliding mode controller in discrete domain for the stabilization of this platform. System is approximated using Euler method technique. In the next stage this work is extended to hardware implementation of the problem. The hardware is designed such that, platform is stabilized by rotation of motors in Azimuthal direction and Elevation direction. Arduino, inertial measurement unit and motor driver are used with the motors to implement the control designed in discrete domain.
