What is it about?
Industrial robots play a vital role in modern production, but often require complex parameter calibration after installation to ensure accurate link geometry parameters. This paper presents a rapid and flexible method for kinematic parameter calibration, leveraging the adaptability of motion capture systems. The proposed calibration schemes address multiple scenarios, including initial setup, installation, parameter adjustment due to wear, and obstacle avoidance calculations. We hope this work advances the flexibility and convenience of industrial robots in practical applications.

Why is it important?
Unlike most studies that primarily emphasize calibration accuracy, this work places greater focus on the speed of calibration task execution, which can significantly reduce deployment time in industrial settings. Furthermore, it introduces a stochastic gradient descent–based method for updating kinematic parameters, enabling fine-tuning of robot parameters during operation.
Perspectives
This work can promote the wider application of industrial robots in production. It also provides a new approach for robot calibration research.
