This paper presents the method of calibrating and compensating for the kinematic errors in robot manipulators. A calibration model is developed to represent any geometric errors in the manipulator's structure. A calibration jig is used to find the values of these kinematic errors in the end-effector's position and a calibration algormined for a SSR-6 robot manipulator developed by Samsung Heavy Industry, Daeduk R & D Center. Through this experiment the maximun kinematic error is reduced from 10mm to 0.4mm

In this paper, important design parameters for parallel kinematic robots are defined, paying special attention to machining errors which may cause kinematic errors at the end effector of a robot. The kinematic effects caused by each design parameter, as well as their upper/lower limits, are analyzed here. To do so, we have developed a novel software program to compute kinematic errors by considering its defined design parameters. With this program, roboticists designing parallel kinematic robots can understand the important design parameters for which upper/lower allowances have to be strictly controlled in the design process. This tactic can be used for the design of high-speed, parallel kinematic robots to reduce the design/manufacturing costs and increase kinematic precision.

A kinematic ball bar measuring system can analyze the various errors of a machine tool easil rapidly with only one measurement, But it cannot be used to measure the errors of the equipment the semiconductor manufacturing (e.g. chip mounter, PCB router etc.) not to use a cir interpolation. This paper presents the method to apply a kinematic ball bar measuring system tc machines which use merely a linear interpolation Also, the work of measuring and calibratir various errors of a chip mounter with a kinematic bal1 bar measurement system is accomplished

This paper presents an useful technique for assessing the volumetric errors in multi-axis machine tools using the kinematic double ball bar. This system has been developed based on the volumetric error map which describes the 3 dimensional errors of machine tools. The developed system inputs the measured radial data of 3 different planes, respectively XY,YZ,ZX, analysing the volumetric errors such as positional. straightness, angle, and squareness errors, etc. The developed system has been tested in a practical machine tool, and showed high potential for the error assessment of multi-axis machine tools.

Machining error makes the uncertainty of dimensional accuracy of the kinematic structure of a parallel robot system, which makes the uncertainty of kinematic accuracy of the end-effector of the parallel robot system. In this paper, the tendency of trajectory tracking error caused by the tolerance of design parameters of the parallel robot is analyzed. For this purpose, all the position errors are analyzed as the manipulator is moved on the target trajectory. X, Y, Z components of the trajectory errors are analyzed respectively, as well as resultant errors, which give the designer of the manipulator the intuitive and deep understanding on the effects of each design parameter to the trajectory tracking errors caused by the uncertainty of dimensional accuracy. The research results shows which design parameters are critically sensitive to the trajectory tracking error and the tendency of the trajectory tracking error caused by them.

This study aims to detect and to reduce the multipath errors which are main errors source in high precious surveying such as GPS-aided aerial triangulation and Car Navigation. which reference receivers being fixed, when kinematic receivers move continuously, multipath is performed using smoothed code measurement and pure code measurement in the network. Through this methods, 3D RMS errors are reduced into about 30% in the single differential code solution to the kinematic receiver. This is based on the fact that the network adjustment are performed at multiple reference receivers, but positioning is carried out by the single differential methods between a reference receiver and a kinematic receiver. So it was supposed that this methods reduced the correlation errors including the atmospheric errors using the nearest receivers and can be mixed with another methods.

The accuracy problem of robot manipulators has long been one of the principal concerns in robot design and control. A practical and economical way of enhancing the manipulator accuracy, without affecting its hardware, is kinematic calibration. In this paper an effective and practical method is presented for kinematic calibration of Stewart platforms. In our method differential errors in kinematical parameters are linearly related to differential errors in the platform pose, expressed through the forward kinematics. The algorithm is tested using simulated measurement in which measurement noise is included.

Purpose：The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of self-controlled knowledge of result (KR) versus the yoked KR on learning of knee joint proprioception. Methods：Forty volunteer subjects (20 men and 20 women) were randomly assigned to each four groups: 1) self-controlled KR in open kinematic chain, 2) yoked KR in open kinematic chain, 3) self controlled KR in close kinematic chain, and 4) yoked KR in close kinematic chain. The difference between the angle of position and reproduction angle was determined as a proprioception error and measured using an angle reproduction test. The subjects in self-controlled groups were provided with feedback whenever they requested it, whereas the subjects in yoked groups were not provided with feedback. The data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA. Results：The proprioception errors in close kinematic chain groups decreased significantly compared with those in close kinematic chain groups(p<.05). The proprioception errors in the self-controlled group decreased significantly compared with those in yoked groups during acquisition and retention test(p<.05). Conclusion：Self-controlled knowledge of result during open kinematic chain movement is considered to be a good method on motor learning.

Objective of calibration is to find out the accurate kinematic relationships between robot joint angles and the position of the end-effector by estimating accurate model parameters defining the kinematic function. Estimating the model parameters requires measurement of the end-effector position at a number of different robot configurations. This paper studies the implication of measurement configurations in robot calibration. For selecting appropriate measurement configurations in robot calibration, an index is defined to measure the observability of the model parameters with respect to a set of robot configurations. It is found that, as the observability index of the selected measurement configurations increase the attribution of the position errors to the parameter errors becomes dominant while the effects of the measurement and unmodeled errors are less significant; consequently better estimation of parameter errors is expected. To demonstrate the implication of the observability measure in robot calibration, computer simulations are performed and their results are discussed.
