Design of a CMG for underwater robots

In this paper we present a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) for underwater robots. This is a single gimbal CMG with pyramid type configuration. This device has a modular design and is self-contained (i.e., all mechanical and electrical parts are contained in the CMG's hull.) The mechanical, elect...

Description
Summary:In this paper we present a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) for underwater robots. This is a single gimbal CMG with pyramid type configuration. This device has a modular design and is self-contained (i.e., all mechanical and electrical parts are contained in the CMG's hull.) The mechanical, electrical and electronic components of the CMG are described, and two experimental test are carry out to demonstrate the system functionality. © 2011 IEEE.
