This paper presents a model-based procedure for the self-calibration of the parallel robot, TRIPLANAR, that gets by on just a relatively simple measuring system. The measuring device continuously quantifies the distance between the toolcenter point (T CP ) that is adjustable in all 6 degrees of freedom and a fixed reference point in the inertial coordinate system (ICS). After just one run over a suitable measuring trajectory and recording of the measuring data (distance T CP -ICS and actuator positions) a parameter identification is performed by minimizing the deviation between the measured pose (position and orientation) and the one that was determined from a model. The identified parameters are taken into account in an inverse kinematics model that is used for the feedforward control of the TriPlanar; thus positioning accuracy can be greatly increased.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
