Comparative Need Analysis of Industrial Robot Calibration Methodologies

Abstract

Abstract The paper focuses on a study of literature about available Industrial robot calibration technique, technical relevance of its utility and summaries findings & reasons behind specific features of each type of method. Comparative analysis helps to identify and assess the present knowledge to identify the future research areas for developing the research interest on the particular needs. The study focuses on advantages and disadvantages of different measuring systems used for calibration. It is observed from literature survey that the research focus about the calibration technique has moved towards the micro level classification of an industrial robot calibration process. The use of micro analysis, benchmarking and standardization of a calibration process requires an additional research. Therefore various recent contributions on industrial robot calibration techniques have been analysed for establishing a commonly acceptable methodology.
