An New Computational Method of the Identification Jacobian for Robot Manipulator Calibration

Abstract

Identification jacobian matrix, which represents the relationship between kinematic parameter error and the positional error of the robot manipulator, is very useful for the model based calibration of robot manipulator. In this paper, a new methodology to calculate the identification jacobian matrix for robot manipulator calibration is presented based on the modified Khalil and Kleinfinger notation. A computer program to calculate the identification jacobian matrix by using symbolic computation has been developed in MATLAB.
