The goal of the project
The Gimbal is a 2 DOF rotating robot. It consists of a vertically rotating shaft extending into a fork
and another shaft placed in between the fork ends, which rotates horizontally [2, App. I]. A laser
pointer can be attached to Gimbal’s horizontally rotating shaft and the laser can be directed to point
certain direction by rotating Gimbal.

Figure 2 Project arrangement with camera
The goal of the project was to be able to track an undetermined line on the paper/wall with the
pointer of the laser. The camera was used as the feedback for the system. The camera can be located
without restrains as long as the track can be seen in the picture. (See Figure 2) Because of this
arrangement the camera will provide inaccurate and uncalibrated information. Therefore we use
Iterative Learning Control (ILC) to find the best output for the system.
