Project Status: IN PROGRESS
This repository contains an engineering project record and supporting artifacts for a perception-driven pan–tilt motion platform.
The platform is developed as an embedded controls and mechatronics system intended to support vision-based tracking and related perception-driven behaviors.
The project implements a layered architecture in which:
- perception defines pointing intent
- the embedded control system translates intent into motion
- actuator conditioning enforces bounded and repeatable behavior
Development prioritizes physical integration, system behavior, and architectural clarity over early publication of implementation details.
pan-tilt-vision-tracking.md
The engineering record documents the stabilized understanding of the platform, including:
- mechanical plant definition and axis structure
- actuation constraints and command semantics
- sensing roles and signal ownership
- motion conditioning, safety, and observability
- system-level architectural boundaries
The document reflects the current engineering model of the system rather than a complete snapshot of all implementation artifacts.
This repository includes supporting engineering materials such as:
- mechanical CAD models and assemblies
- center-of-mass and moment-of-inertia data
- part and assembly-level properties derived from CAD
- supporting figures and diagrams referenced in the engineering record
These artifacts are published as the physical platform and system understanding stabilize.
The embedded firmware is undergoing active architectural evolution and refactoring.
To avoid publishing transient structure or misleading implementation details, firmware sources will be added once the control architecture and execution model have stabilized.
The mechanical platform and motion-control foundation are established.
Ongoing work focuses on continued system integration and preparation for perception-driven tracking experiments.
