SCALAR: Simultaneous Calibration of 2-D Laser and Robot Kinematic Parameters Using Planarity and Distance Constraints

Résumé

In this paper, we propose SCALAR, a calibration method to simultaneously calibrate the kinematic parameters of a 6-DoF robot and the extrinsic parameters of a 2-D laser range finder (LRF) attached to the robot's flange. The calibration setup requires only a flat plate with two small holes carved on it at a known distance from each other and a sharp tool-tip attached to the robot's flange. The calibration is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem where the laser and the tool-tip are used to provide the planar and distance constraints, and the optimization problem is solved using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. We demonstrate through experiments that SCALAR can reduce the mean and the maximum tool position error from 0.44 to 0.19 mm and from 1.41 to 0.50 mm, respectively.

Robot kinematics
In robotics, robot kinematics applies geometry to the study of the movement of multi-degree of freedom kinematic chains that form the structure of robotic systems. The emphasis on geometry means that the links of the robot are modeled as rigid bodies and its joints are assumed to provide pure rotation or translation. Robot kinematics studies the relationship between the dimensions and connectivity of kinematic chains and the position, velocity and acceleration of each of the links in the robotic system, in order to plan and control movement and to compute actuator forces and torques.
Chaîne cinématique (robotique)
thumb|Exemple de chaîne cinématique du corps humain. Le genou est représenté comme une liaison pivot, la hanche par une liaison sphérique, etc. La chaîne cinématique est un modèle mathématique des systèmes mécaniques dans lequel un ensemble de solides indéformables (les "corps" ou "liens" du système) sont connectés entre eux par des articulations. Les articulations d'une chaîne cinématique sont des liaisons mécaniques.

The effect of smooth parametrizations on nonconvex optimization landscapes

Nicolas Boumal

We develop new tools to study landscapes in nonconvex optimization. Given one optimization problem, we pair it with another by smoothly parametrizing the domain. This is either for practical purposes (e.g., to use smooth optimization algorithms with good g ...

An Optimal Control Formulation of Tool Affordance Applied to Impact Tasks

Sylvain Calinon, Jie Zhao

Humans use tools to complete impact-aware tasks, such as hammering a nail or playing tennis. The postures adopted to use these tools can significantly influence the performance of these tasks, where the force or velocity of the hand holding a tool plays a ...
