Sensor Calibration and Registration for Mobile Manipulators

2016

International audience; —This paper describes the methods used to register a mobile manipulator to a workstation to perform assembly tasks. The nonlinear, least square model of the system is formulated and Ceres Solver is used to compute the position of the robot arm relative to the mobile base. The use of non-contact fiducials to test the accuracy and repeatability of the mobile manipulator positioning in the context of an assembly operation is also discussed. Using mathematical methods and indirect measurements it is possible to compute the offset between physical components of the system where direct measurement is not feasible.
