Abstract
A method and system for registering a 3D sensor with an autonomous manipulator is provided. The 3D sensor has a field of view and a sensor coordinate system. The autonomous manipulator is a vision-guided manipulator having a work envelope and a manipulator coordinate system. The method includes moving a registration target relative to the sensor in the field of view of the sensor in the work envelope to obtain a plurality of depth maps or images of the target. The depth maps or images are processed to obtain a plurality of extrinsic registration parameters between the manipulator and the sensor.
