Abstract

The accuracy of hand-eye calibration is easily affected by robot kinematic error, measurement error, random error, etc., and can be to a certain extent enhanced by the complicated error identification. To address this problem, we propose a novel errors-unidentified hand-eye calibration method. A relocalization-based hand-eye calibration is implemented to overcome the challenge from robot kinematics at first owing to the high robot relocalization accuracy. The tool center point (TCP) coordinates are then obtained based on an iterative reweighted least squares (IRLS) spherical fitting algorithm. An iterative combinatorial refinement algorithm is finally presented to search the solutions in the form of permutation and combination when solving the rigid transformation matrix. Experiments on criterion sphere and blade demonstrate that by converting the hand-eye matrix solving problem into a point set matching problem, the accuracy of the proposed method is enhanced by 60% on average compared with three state-of-the-art hand-eye calibration methods.
