Abstract

Online implementation of robotic hand-eye calibration consists in determining the relative pose between the robot gripper/end-effector and the sensors mounted on it, as the robot makes unplanned movement. With noisy measurements, inevitable in real applications, the calibration is sensitive to small rotations. Moreover, degenerate cases such as pure translations are of no effect in hand-eye calibration. This paper proposes an algorithm of motion selection for hand-eye calibration. Using this method, not only can we avoid the degenerate cases, but also the small rotations to decrease the calibration error. Thus, the procedure lends itself to an online implementation of hand-eye calibration, where degenerate cases and small rotations frequently occur in the sampled motions. Simulation and real experiments validate our method.
