Abstract

When a force sensor on a robot arm detects that the force of contact between an end of a calibration device and a calibration plate reaches a threshold, the robot arm stops, and the end of the calibration device performs marking at the contact position between the end of the calibration device and the calibration plate. The robot arm moves upward and stops at a position where the end of the robot arm is at a predetermined height. At this position, a camera at the end of the robot arm photographs marks on the calibration plate, records the coordinates of the marks in the camera coordinate system, and records the coordinates of the end of the calibration device in the robot coordinate system. A calibration transformation matrix is calculated according to the recorded coordinates of at least three marks.
