This paper proposes a new kinematic calibration method to improve the pose accuracy of parallel robots. The method includes a new pose error model with 60 error parameters and a different kinematic parameter error identification algorithm based on L-infinity parameter estimation. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Pose accuracy is one of the most important problems in the application of parallel robots. In order to adhere to strict pose error bounds, a new kinematic calibration method is proposed, which includes a new pose error model with 60 error parameters and a different kinematic parameter error identification algorithm based on L-infinity parameter estimation. Parameter errors are identified by using linear programming to minimize the maximum difference between predictions and workspace measurements. Simulation results show that the proposed kinematic calibration has better kinematic parameter error estimation and fewer pose errors when measurement noise is less than kinematic parameter errors. Experimental results show that maximum position and orientation errors, respectively, based on the proposed method are decreased by 86.48% and 87.85% of the original values and by 14.32% and 18.23% of those based on the conventional least squares method. The feasibility and validity of the proposed kinematic calibration are verified by improved pose accuracy of the parallel robot.
