Based on the current situation of high precision and comparatively low APA (absolute positioning accuracy) in industrial robots, a calibration method to enhance the APA of industrial robots is proposed. In view of the "hidden" characteristics of the RBCS (robot base coordinate system) and the FCS (flange coordinate system) in the measurement process, a comparatively general measurement and calibration method of the RBCS and the FCS is proposed, and the source of the robot terminal position error is classified into three aspects: positioning error of industrial RBCS, kinematics parameter error of manipulator, and positioning error of industrial robot end FCS. The robot position error model is established, and the relation equation of the robot end position error and the industrial robot model parameter error is deduced. By solving the equation, the parameter error identification and the supplementary results are obtained, and the method of compensating the error by using the robot joint angle is realized. The Leica laser tracker is used to verify the calibration method on ABB IRB120 industrial robot. The experimental results show that the calibration method can effectively enhance the APA of the robot.

The geometrical relationships among robot arm, camera, and workspace are important to carry out visual servo tasks. For industrial robots, the relationships are usually fixed and well calibrated by experienced operators. However, for service robots, particularly in mobile applications, the relationships might be changed. For example, when a mobile robot attempts to use the visual information from environmental cameras to perform grasping, it is necessary to know the relationships before taking actions. Moreover, the calibration should be done automatically. This chapter proposes a self-calibration method using a laser distance sensor mounted on the robot arm. The advantage of the method, as compared with pattern-based one, is that the workspace coordinate is also obtained at the same time using the projected laser spot. Further, it is not necessary for the robot arm to enter the view scope of the camera for calibration. This increases the safety when the workspace is unknown initially.

Circular Target

To achieve fast calibration of line structured light sensor, a geometric calibration approach based on single circular calibration target is proposed. The proposed method uses the circular points to establish linear equations, and according to the angle constraint, the camera intrinsic parameters can be calculated through optimization. Then, the light plane calibration is accomplished in two steps. Firstly, when the vanishing lines of target plane at various postures are obtained, the intersections between vanishing lines and laser stripe can be computed, and the normal vector of light plane can be calibrated via line fitting method using intersection points. After that, the distance from the origin of camera coordinate system to the light plane can be derived based on the model of perspective-three-point. The actual experimental result shows that this calibration method has high accuracy, its average measuring accuracy is 0.0451 mm, and relative error is 0.2314%. In addition, the entire calibration process has no complex operations. It is simple, convenient, and suitable for calibration on sites.

This paper proposed a calibration method of sheet-of-light vision measurement sensor based on light plane constraint. Through capturing 12 images of different direction from homemade circular calibration target, the center of the circle and the light stripe is extracted based on Halcon platform of Germany. The experimental results obtained the intrinsic parameters, extrinsic parameters and radial distortion coefficient of the nonlinear model. At the same time the light plane constraint equation is got based on PCA plane fitting method. The results show that the calibration method is simple and reliable, and the method does not need any auxiliary adjustment. The work laid the better foundation for hard disk planeness vision measurement.

Industrial robots have advantages in the processing of large-scale components in the aerospace industry. Compared to CNC machine tools, robot arms are cheaper and easier to deploy. However, due to the poor consistency of incoming materials, large-scale and lightweight components make it difficult to automate robotic machining. In addition, the stiffness of the tandem structure is quite low. Therefore, the stability of the milling process is always a concern. In this paper, the robotic milling research is carried out for the welding pre-processing technology of large-scale components. In order to realize the automatic production of low-conformity parts, the on-site measurement–planning–processing method is adopted with the laser profiler. On the one hand, the laser profiler hand–eye calibration method is optimized to improve the measurement accuracy. On the other hand, the stiffness of the robot’s processing posture is optimized, combined with the angle of the fixture turntable. Finally, the experiment shows the feasibility of the on-site measurement–planning–processing method and verifies the correctness of the stiffness model.

Abstract Industrial robots play important roles in manufacturing automation for smart manufacturing. Some high-precision applications, for example, robot drilling, robot machining, robot high-precision assembly, and robot inspection, require higher robot accuracy compared with traditional part handling operations. The monitoring and assessment of robot accuracy degradation become critical for these applications. A novel vision-based sensing system for 6-D measurement (six-dimensional x, y, z, yaw, pitch, and roll) is developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to measure the dynamic high accuracy movement of a robot arm. The measured 6-D information is used for robot accuracy degradation assessment and improvement. This paper presents an automatic calibration method for a vision-based 6-D sensing system. The stereo calibration is separated from the distortion calibration to speed up the on-site adjustment. Optimization algorithms are developed to achieve high calibration accuracy. The vision-based 6-D sensing system is used on a Universal Robots (UR5) to demonstrate the feasibility of using the system to assess the robot’s accuracy degradation.
