Abstract:Different from traditional missile loading method, the missile automatic loading technology is a new loading method that can meet the satisfaction of unmanned combat platform. This paper first introduces existing missile loading methods at home and abroad. The differences of “push-loading” and “vision servo manipulator plus flexible and parallel hoisting device” are also analyzed. The research of the latter one is mainly conducted. The manipulator control technology based on improved path planning, machine vision technology and flexibly adaptive adjustment technology are proposed, thus providing ideas for the research of missile automatic loading and unmanned smart combat.
