Robot Self-Calibration Using Actuated 3D Sensors - Technology Org

Current robot calibration techniques rely on specialized equipment and specially trained personnel. To overcome this problem, a recent paper published on arXiv.org It uses point cloud registration techniques to fuse multiple scans of a given scene. The evaluation on multiple real-world scenes on various hardware configurations shows that the achieved precision is similar to that achieved by using traditional methods with a dedicated 3D tracking system. Both, robot and hand-eye calibration haven been object to research for decades.
