Inertial motion tracking with PS Move on Linux

http://www.pabr.org/linmctool/

Return of the SIXAXIS robot ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2rM5Zy5T5Y ), now driven by a PS3 motion controller.

6DoF tracking is achieved without resorting to heuristics, thanks to the three accelerometers and three gyros. The three magnetometers prevent integration drift. Optical tracking is not used (i.e. the PS Eye is not involved).

Inertial measurements are transmitted to a Linux computer which does the inverse kinematics math and controls six hobby RC servos via a Gumstix board (also running Linux).

very nice, it might be a good concept for robotic eyebal

ecxelent work. I hope to see more experiment with ps move.
