In-field self-calibration of robotic manipulator using stereo camera: application to Humanitarian Demining Robot |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
A robotic manipulator using a stereo camera mounted on one of its links requires a precise kinematic transformation calibration between the manipulator and the camera coordinate frames, the so-called hand-eye calibration, to achieve high-accuracy end-effector positioning. This paper introduces a new method that performs simultaneous joint angle and hand-eye calibration, based on a traditional method that uses a sequence of pure rotations of the manipulator links. The new method considers an additional joint angle constraint, which improves the calibration accuracy when the circular arc that can be measured by the stereo camera is very limited. Experimental results using a manipulator developed for humanitarian demining demonstrate that relative errors between the end effector and the external points mapped by the stereo camera are greatly reduced compared to traditional methods. |
