Creating a Technology for Synthesizing Mechatronic Devices and VR Systems

This paper considers the implementation of a technology based on synthesizing a method for creating adaptive circuits for controlling mechatronic devices based on a VR-enabled treadmill equipped with special peripheral sensors. The method for making realistic VR terrain models is analyzed as a novel solution that uses an original device based on a mobile platform and featuring a two-DoF (degrees of freedom) hydraulically stabilized tripod that carries photogrammetry and laser scanning equipment. The core goal hereof is to create a method that would provide hardware and software integration to apply VR system parameters to the treadmill control circuit. The resulting synthesized treadmill-based mechatronic unit is positioned as an active complex system that, in addition to solving practical engineering problems, will also help research the user's psychophysiological interaction with a realistic VR while moving.
