Abstract
In this work the problem of remote calibration and trajectory replanning for a subsea robotic manipulator is considered. Because the trajectory planning is normally done in a structured environment, several uncertainties arise when the robot is placed on the seabed and these need to be compensated for to guarantee that the task specifications are fulfilled. We address the particular problem of configuration errors in the robot base with respect to the configuration used during the off-line trajectory planning. A calibration method based on both internal and external sensors is presented in order to estimate the uncertainty in the location of the robot. Moreover, a trajectory replanning strategy in the Cartesian velocity space is proposed to guarantee that the originally planned trajectory is followed. Simulation and experiments performed with a 6-DoF robot manipulator and a real calibration grid show the viability of the proposed planning and control schemes.
