Gimbal Based Robotic Eye for Dynamic Social Environment

Recently robots are designed to interact and work with humans in a social environment. Gimbal based robotic vision system has an excellent response in such a dynamic environment due to the high decoupling property of gimbal system. This paper presents a gimbal based robotic vision system to show that this design is more suitable for robots and similar to human eye design with different aspects. We compare the gimbal based robotic eye design with the design of the human eye system in its mechanical skeleton, tracking mechanism, types of movement, and tracking speed. We mention some future research directions related to the presented eye design for further improvement. If these aspects are addressed successfully for the gimbal based robotic vision systems, then more suitable robotic eye, similar to human eye design, and optimal humanoid eye can be designed for the robots that interact with humans in a social environment.
