It is therefore necessary to increase the accuracy of the movement of the industrial robot as much as possible by a feasible means so that the industrial robot can accurately reach the specified end position.
The industrial robot calibration technology is a main method for improving the motion precision of an industrial robot at present, and high-precision external measuring equipment is mainly adopted to accurately measure the coordinates of an end effector of the industrial robot during calibration. Modeling is carried out to industrial robot through reasonable model, discerns each item parameter in the industrial robot model again, through calculating the parameter error that the accuracy obtained each parameter to obtain industrial robot's actual parameter value, then combine the control system of industrial robot body and other control algorithm etc. to compensate each item parameter error of industrial robot, realize the improvement to industrial robot motion precision.
The calibration of the industrial robot mainly comprises the following four steps: the method comprises the following steps of kinematics modeling, data measurement, parameter identification and error compensation, wherein the data measurement is the most time-consuming, tedious and important link, and the accuracy of the data measurement directly influences the accuracy of a subsequent calibration result, so that how to quickly, accurately and conveniently measure and obtain data is the key of the calibration technology of the industrial robot.
The calibration method of the industrial robot can be mainly divided into open-loop calibration and closed-loop calibration. Open-loop calibration needs to complete measurement of pose data of the tail end of the mechanical arm by means of an external precision measuring instrument, common measuring instruments comprise a ball rod instrument, a three-coordinate measuring machine, a stay wire type displacement sensor, a theodolite, a laser tracker, binocular vision and the like, the measuring instruments are high in measuring accuracy, high in specificity and complexity, complex in use process and high in price, need to be used by specially trained personnel, have certain requirements on measuring environments, and improper measuring methods and measuring environments can cause great errors in measuring results.
The basic principle of the closed-loop calibration method is that the tail end of the mechanical arm is limited by using externally applied space physical constraints so that the mechanical arm can operate in a specified range, such as a point, a straight line, a plane and the like, then joint angle data are obtained through a control system of the mechanical arm, and pose data of the tail end of the mechanical arm are obtained through positive kinematics. The method has the advantages of simple measurement process, low cost and low requirements on measurement environment and operation process, but the method generally needs to manually operate the industrial robot to enable the end effector to reach the limit point and to be repeatedly carried out, the dependence on manual operation is high, the manual operation speed is low, the pose relationship between the end effector and the limit point needs to be repeatedly observed to send a proper operation instruction, errors are easily caused in manual operation, equipment damage is even caused, and the like, and the precision is low.
In summary, in the existing calibration method for the industrial robot, no matter open-loop calibration or closed-loop calibration is performed, the accuracy and convenience of the data measurement process are difficult to guarantee at the same time, so that the efficiency of the whole calibration process is low.

The height of the stand 42 is determined by the size of the robot 1 to be calibrated, and is approximately half of the height of the standard pose of the robot 1 to be calibrated. The stand 42 is fixed with a plurality of calibration balls 43, the calibration balls 43 have predetermined marks for identification, for example, the calibration balls 43 are white and have black cross-shaped predetermined marks thereon, and the roundness and radius errors of the calibration balls 43 should be in the micrometer range to ensure the measurement accuracy. Optionally, the calibration frame 4 is provided with at least four calibration balls 43 on both sides of the stand 42 and on a side of the stand facing the robot 1 to be calibrated. The method has the advantages that the action amplitude is as large as possible in the calibration process, and the optimal calibration configuration is achieved, so that the final calibration precision is improved.

In practical application, the system comprises one calibration frame or at least two calibration frames with the structure in different positions in the operation range of the robot 1 to be calibrated.
The measuring device 3 is fixed at the end of the robot 1 to be calibrated, a flange plate is arranged on the measuring device 3 and connected with the end of the robot 1 to be calibrated, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the measuring device 3 comprises a plurality of angle sensors 31, a finger joint 32 is fixed on a measuring rod of each angle sensor 31, the other end of each finger joint 32 is provided with a joint contact 33, the joint contact 33 is generally a round ball with a known radius, each finger joint 32 forms a mechanical gripper structure, the number of the specific finger joints 32 is configured as required, and the application illustrates that the measuring device comprises three finger joints 32 as an example. When the mechanical paw structure of the measuring device 3 contacts the calibration ball, the tail ends of the three finger joints 32 slide to the periphery of the calibration ball, so that the angle sensor is driven to rotate. A measurement coordinate system O7X7Y7Z7 is established with the vertex of one of the angle sensors as an origin O7, the plane parallel to the end of the robot 1 to be calibrated as the xy plane, and the plane perpendicular to the xy plane and in front of the robot 1 to be calibrated as the Z axis, and due to the problem of illustration, O7 is not shown in the vertices of one of the angle sensors in fig. 1 and 2.

According to the coordinates of the calibration ball in the measurement coordinate system, the joint contact point 33 at the tail end of the robot 1 to be calibrated can be controlled to approach the calibration ball through inverse kinematics and trajectory planning.
The robot parameters are not calibrated at the moment, so that the trajectory planning is not accurate enough, the method adopts a sectional trajectory planning method, and the tail end position of the robot to be calibrated is controlled to move in the direction close to the calibration ball by a preset amplitude to the current pose through inverse kinematics according to the coordinates of the calibration ball in a measurement coordinate system from the standard pose, and the joint contact point of the robot 1 to be calibrated, which moves to the tail end, can be controlled to be at a certain distance obliquely above the calibration ball during the first planning.
