Interchangeable mounting platform
First Claim
1. An assembly for interchangeably mounting onto a plurality of base supports comprising a first base support and a second base support, the assembly comprising:
- a payload configured to obtain sensor data; and
a mounting platform coupled to the payload via a first coupling, the mounting platform comprising one or more actuators configured to adjust a spatial disposition of the payload, and wherein the mounting platform is configured to be releasably coupled via a second coupling to each of the first base support and the second base support using a twisting motion,wherein the first base support is configured to control a function of the payload when the mounting platform is coupled to the first base support.

Abstract
An assembly includes a payload configured to obtain sensor data and a mounting platform coupled to the payload via a first coupling and including one or more actuators configured to adjust a spatial disposition of the payload. The assembly is for interchangeably mounting onto a plurality of base supports including a first base support and a second base support. The mounting platform is configured to be releasably coupled via a second coupling to each of the first base support and the second base support. The first base support is configured to control a function of the payload when the mounting platform is coupled to the first base support.

17. A method for interchangeably mounting onto a plurality of different base supports comprising a first base support and a second base support, the method comprising:
-
providing a mounting platform coupled to a payload via a first coupling, wherein the mounting platform comprises one or more actuators configured to adjust a spatial disposition of the payload, wherein the payload is configured to obtain sensor data; releasably coupling the mounting platform via a second coupling to each of the first base support and the second base support using a twisting motion; establishing electrical communication between the mounting platform and each of the first base support and the second base support when the mounting platform is coupled to the first base support and the second base support via the second coupling; receiving, by the payload, a first set of control signals generated by the first base support to control a function of the payload after the mounting platform is coupled to the first base support. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
