Kinematic parameter calibration method for industrial robot manipulator using the relative position
نویسنده
چکیده
A new calibration method for industrial robot system calibration on a manufacturing floor is presented in this paper. To calibrate the robot system, a laser sensor to measure the distance between robot tool and measurement surface is attached to the robot end-effector and a grid is established in the floor. Given two position command pulses for a robot manipulator and using the position difference between two command pulses, the relative position measurement calibration method will find the real robot kinematic parameters. The procedures developed have been applied to an industrial robot. Finally, the effects of the models used to calibrate the robot are discussed. This calibration method represents an effective, low cost and feasible technique for the industrial robot calibration in lab. projects and industrial environments.

Precision Robot Calibration Using Kinematically Placed Inclinometers
In the field of industrial robotics, many different calibration methods exist to reduce error in the robot system. Locating the manipulator home position is a common calibration technique, which can be divided into three main categories — relative, optimal and leveling based methods. The home position of an industrial manipulator is a position where all joint angles have a pre-defined value (e....
متن کاملThe development of a genetic programming method for kinematic robot calibration
Kinematic robot calibration is the key requirement for the successful application of offline programming to industrial robotics. To compensate for inaccurate robot tool positioning, offline generated poses need to be corrected using a calibrated kinematic model, leading the robot to the desired poses. Conventional robot calibration techniques are heavily reliant upon numerical optimisation meth...

In this article, we present the kinematic calibration of a H4 parallel robot using a vision-based measuring device. Calibration is performed according to the inverse kinematic model method, using first the design model then a model developed for calibration purpose. To do so, the end-effector pose has to be measured with the utterst accuracy. Thus, we first evaluate the practical accuracy of ou...
متن کاملA Rapid Coordinate Transformation Method Applied in Industrial Robot Calibration Based on Characteristic Line Coincidence
Coordinate transformation plays an indispensable role in industrial measurements, including photogrammetry, geodesy, laser 3-D measurement and robotics. The widely applied methods of coordinate transformation are generally based on solving the equations of point clouds. Despite the high accuracy, this might result in no solution due to the use of ill conditioned matrices. In this paper, a novel...
متن کاملKinematic Calibration of a Cartesian Parallel Manipulator
Abstract: In this paper, a prototype Cartesian Parallel Manipulator (CPM) is demonstrated, in which a moving platform is connected to a fixed frame by three PRRR limbs. Due to the orthogonal arrangement of the three prismatic joints, it behaves like a conventional X-Y-Z Cartesian robot. However, because all the linear actuators are mounted at the fixed frame, the manipulator may be suitable for...
