AI summary

The present disclosure provides a geomagnetic positioning device, comprising a base assembly and a connecting assembly. The base assembly comprises a control component, a driving component, and a first geomagnetic component. The control component is electrically connected with the driving component and the first geomagnetic component. The connecting assembly is disposed at the driving component and comprises a second geomagnetic component. Wherein the control component obtains the deviation angle of the second geomagnetic component relative to the first geomagnetic component. The control component controls the driving component according to the deviation angle to adjust the relative angle of the connecting assembly relative to the base assembly. Through the reading difference to geomagnetism between the first geomagnetic component and the second geomagnetic component, the relative angle between the control base assembly and the connecting assembly and the absolute angle of the two can be calculated for precise control.
