Fast Calibration Method for Base Coordinates of the Dual-Robot Based on Three-Point Measurement Calibration Method
Source abstract
Abstract
Multi-robot systems can perform more complex tasks with high precision and large loads than single-robot systems. The calibration of the base coordinate system is the basis and premise to ensure the collaborative operation between the dual-robot. In this study, a dual-robot calibration system based on calibration tooling components was established, which could quickly and accurately obtain the relative position between dual robots. Based on three reference measurement points of the orthogonal distribution in the calibration tool coordinate system, a mapping relationship between the distance from the reference measurement point to the robot end point and the parameters of the robot base system was established, and a fast dual-robot base system parameter calibration solution method based on "three-point measurement calibration" was proposed. The experimental results show that this method can quickly and accurately obtain the transformation relationship between the dual robot base coordinate systems. The accuracy and efficiency of the calibration have been greatly improved. It is of great significance for meeting the requirements of high efficiency, low cost, and easy operation in the factory application process.
