| Title | Calibration and measurement of the stiffness of robot manipulators using image processing |
| Speaker | Prof. Eduardo Castillo Castaneda Instituto Politecnico Nacional CICATA Unidad Queretaro, Mexico |
| Abstract | The precision and rigidity are key concepts that determine the performance of any manipulator. Devices to quantify these variables are generally quite expensive and limited in the workspace that can cover, also are not well adapted to measure the orientation of the manipulator. The aim of this talk is to present a technique for data acquisition and image processing to measure with high precision, the position and orientation of the end effector of any manipulator. These measurements are used for robot calibration purposes and to estimate its stiffness in a large workspace. |
