Kinematic calibration using a plane constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work deals with closed-loop calibration methods where the robot endpoint is constrained to lie on a plane. Previously published calibration approaches are shown to have certain weaknesses. A new solution is given using DH and Hayati notations and standard nonlinear least squares optimization. The procedure is extended via the Implicit Loop Method, which takes input noise into account. Pose selection is guided by the Noise Amplification Index. Simulation and experimental results are presented for a PUMA 560 industrial manipulator, and are compared to those obtained from an open-loop calibration procedure.

Robot Calibration with Planar Constraints
This paper investigates issues related to robot calibration with planar constraints and, in particular observability conditions for the parameters of the kinematic model of the robot. Both singleand multiple-plane constraints for robot calibration are considered. It is shown that a single-plane constraint is n o d y insdlicient for calibrating a robot. It is also shown that by using a three-pla...
متن کاملKinematic Calibration for Redundantly Actuated Parallel Mechanisms
We present a new kinematic calibration algorithm for redundantly actuated parallel mechanisms, and illustrate the algorithm with a case study of a planar seven-element 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) mechanism with three actuators. To calibrate a nonredundantly actuated parallel mechanism, one can find actual kinematic parameters by means of geometrical constraint of the mechanism’s kinematic structu...
متن کاملAutonomous Robot Calibration for Hand-Eye Coordination
Autonomous robot calibration is defined as the process of determining a robot’s model by using only its internal sensors. It is shown that autonomous calibration of a manipulator and stereo camera system is possible. The proposed autonomous calibration algorithm may obtain the manipulator kinematic parameters, external kinematic camera parameters, and internal camera parameters. To do this, onl...

In this paper a general formulation for finding the maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of flexible link mobile manipulators is presented. The main constraints used for the algorithm presented are the actuator torque capacity and the limited error bound for the end-effector during motion on the given trajectory. The precision constraint is taken into account with two boundary lines in plane w...
متن کاملSCALAR - Simultaneous Calibration of 2D Laser and Robot's Kinematic Parameters Using Three Planar Constraints
Industrial robots are increasingly used in various applications where the robot accuracy becomes very important, hence calibrations of the robot’s kinematic parameters and the measurement system’s extrinsic parameters are required. However, the existing calibration approaches are either too cumbersome or require another expensive external measurement system such as laser tracker or measurement ...
