Book Camera Aided Robot Calibration

Download or read book Camera Aided Robot Calibration written by Hangi Zhuang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robot calibration is the process of enhancing the accuracy of a robot by modifying its control software. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory and implementation of robot calibration using computer vision technology. It is the only book to cover the entire process of vision-based robot calibration, including kinematic modeling, camera calibration, pose measurement, error parameter identification, and compensation. The book starts with an overview of available techniques for robot calibration, with an emphasis on vision-based techniques. It then describes various robot-camera systems. Since cameras are used as major measuring devices, camera calibration techniques are reviewed. Camera-Aided Robot Calibration studies the properties of kinematic modeling techniques that are suitable for robot calibration. It summarizes the well-known Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H) modeling convention and indicates the drawbacks of the D-H model for robot calibration. The book develops the Complete and Parametrically Continuous (CPC) model and the modified CPC model, that overcome the D-H model singularities. The error models based on these robot kinematic modeling conventions are presented. No other book available addresses the important, practical issue of hand/eye calibration. This book summarizes current research developments and demonstrates the pros and cons of various approaches in this area. The book discusses in detail the final stage of robot calibration - accuracy compensation - using the identified kinematic error parameters. It offers accuracy compensation algorithms, including the intuitive task-point redefinition and inverse-Jacobian algorithms and more advanced algorithms based on optimal control theory, which are particularly attractive for highly redundant manipulators. Camera-Aided Robot Calibration defines performance indices that are designed for off-line, optimal selection of measurement configurations. It then describes three approaches: closed-form, gradient-based, and statistical optimization. The included case study presents experimental results that were obtained by calibrating common industrial robots. Different stages of operation are detailed, illustrating the applicability of the suggested techniques for robot calibration. Appendices provide readers with preliminary materials for easier comprehension of the subject matter. Camera-Aided Robot Calibration is a must-have reference for researchers and practicing engineers-the only one with all the information!

Book Robotics and Factories of the Future    87

Download or read book Robotics and Factories of the Future 87 written by R. Radharamanan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers presented at the Second International Conference on Robotics and Factories of the Future held in San Diego, California, USA during July 28-31, 1987 are compiled in this volume. Over two hundred participants attended the conference, made technical presentations and discussed about various aspects of manufacturing, robotics and factories of the future. The number of papers published in this volume and the number of unpublished presentations at the conference indicates the evidance of growing interest in the areas of CAD/CAM, robotics and their role in future factories. The conference consisted of five plenary sessions, twenty three technical sessions, workshops, and exhibits from local industries and educational institutions. I wish to acknowledge with many thanks the contributions of all the authors who presented their work at the conference and submitted the manuscripts for publication. It is also my pleasure to acknowledge the role of keynote, banquet, and plenary sessions speakers whose contributions added greatly to the success of the conference. My sincere thanks to all session chairmen. I wish that the series of the International Conferences on Robotics and Factories of the Future which was initiated in 1984 in Charlotte, North Carolina will have a major impact on the use of robots and computers in the automated factories of the future.

Book Affordable Robot Calibration for Industrial Robots

Download or read book Affordable Robot Calibration for Industrial Robots written by Albert Nubiola and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robot calibration is the process of identifying the real geometrical parameters in the kinematic structure of an industrial robot. This book compares different robot calibration methods used in the industry with different measurement systems (laser trackers, stereo cameras, touch probes, ...). This work introduces easier and more affordable robot calibration methods, such as calibrating robots with a telescoping ballbar. The robot calibration methods described in this book are the same methods used in RoboDK, a software tool for offline programming, robot calibration and robot performance tests, including the ISO 9283 tests.

Book Integration of Robots into CIM

Download or read book Integration of Robots into CIM written by Roger Bernard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its inception in 1983, ESPRIT (the European Strategic Programme for Research and Development in Information Technology) has aimed at improving the competitiveness of European industry and providing it with the technology needed for the 1990s. Esprit Project 623, on which most of the work presented in this book is based, was one of the key projects in the ESPRIT area, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). From its beginnings in 1985, it brought together a team of researchers from industry, research institutes and universities to explore and develop a critical stream of advanced manufacturing technology that would be timely and mature for industrial exploitation in a five year time frame. The synergy of cross border collaboration between technology users and vendors has led to results ranging from new and improved products to training courses given at universities. The subject of Esprit Project 623 was the integration of robots into manufacturing environments. Robots are a vital element in flexible automation and can contribute substantially to manufacturing efficiency. The project had two main themes, off-line programming and robot system planning. Off-line programming enlarges the application area of robots and opens up new possibilities in domains such as laser cutting, and other hazardous operations. Reported benefits obtained from off-line program ming include: - significant cost reductions because re-programming eliminates robot down-time; - faster production cycles, in some cases time-savings of up to 85% are reported; - the optimal engineering of products with improved quality.

Book Off line Programming of Industrial Robots

Download or read book Off line Programming of Industrial Robots written by Alfred Storr and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1987 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial robots are now being more readily included into highly integrated, expensive, manufacturing systems. The development of off-line teaching methods has thus become increasingly important, if costly on-line programming time is to be avoided. This, combined with the fact that the programming aspect now forms one of the major bottlenecks delaying the expansion of robot applications, makes this book most timely in its attempt to offer solutions to the problem. The comparison of methods and experiments contained in this volume will be of help in establishing guidelines for future industrial use of robots. Programming strategies are examined, as are assembly applications, simulation, programming aids and programming for a CIM environment. A number of examples are included, illustrating the current state of off-line techniques.
