Abstract
A shooting system includes a platform, a gun installed on the platform, a manipulator connected to the platform and the gun and configured to move the platform, a platform driver configured to drive the manipulator, and a controller configured to control the platform driver to drive the manipulator to move the platform based on transmitting a movement control signal to the platform driver, and determine whether the gun is unable to aim at a target.
Claims10
A shooting system comprising:
- a platform;
- a gun installed on the platform;
- a manipulator connected to the platform and the gun, and configured to move the platform;
- a platform driver configured to drive the manipulator;
- a controller;
- a user interface configured to receive an input command from a user and transmit a command signal corresponding to the input command to the controller;
- a gun barrel driver configured to drive the manipulator based on a gun barrel control signal from the controller, such that the manipulator moves a barrel of the gun in a vertical axis (Z-axis) direction or rotates about a vertical axis (Z-axis);
- a shooting driver configured to drive the manipulator based on a shooting control signal from the controller, such that the manipulator controls the gun to shoot according to the shooting control signal;
- a camera connected to the gun and configured to capture an image ahead of the gun and transmit the image ahead of the gun to the controller;
- and
- a display configured to display the image ahead of the gun according to a display control signal from the controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- control the platform driver to drive the manipulator to move the platform based on transmitting a movement control signal to the platform driver;
- based on the input command from the user interface, determine a target based on the image ahead of the gun and transmit the gun barrel control signal to the gun barrel driver to control the gun to shoot the target;
- determine that the gun is unable to aim at the target based on determining that a movement of the barrel of the gun is stopped or about to be stopped by a mechanically movement-restricted area while the barrel of the gun is moving in the vertical axis (Z-axis) direction;
- and
- transmit the movement control signal to the platform driver, such that the platform is raised or lowered in a direction in which the barrel of the gun is moved.

- a camera connected to the gun and configured to capture an image ahead of the gun and transmit the image ahead of the gun to the controller;
- and
- a display configured to display the image ahead of the gun according to a display control signal from the controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- control the platform driver to drive the manipulator to move the platform based on transmitting a movement control signal to the platform driver;
- based on the input command from the user interface, determine a target based on the image ahead of the gun and transmit the gun barrel control signal to the gun barrel driver to control the gun to shoot the target;
- determine that the gun is unable to aim at the target based on determining that at least a portion of an obstacle image overlaps or is about to overlap with a target area image that is set to be larger than a target image;
- and
- transmit the movement control signal to the platform driver, such that at least the portion of the obstacle image does not overlap the target area image.
