Turbulence-Compensated Table Mechanism

The goal of this project is to design a mechanism to compensate for vibration of aircraft passenger seat tables caused by turbulence. The system design includes three actuators, capable of handling turbulence up to 1g of acceleration, that move in up-and-down, rolling, and side-to-side directions. Sensor data from table movement and location is acquired by accelerometers and distance and weight sensors, and processed by an Arduino Zero, which tells the actuators when and where to move. The table is mounted on a credenza that keeps the table hardware in place and holds all the electronics, including the power source and cables.
