Description

电动关节校准方法及校准装置Electric joint calibration method and calibration device 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及一种校准方法及校准装置,特别涉及一种电动关节校准方法及校准装置。The invention relates to a calibration method and a calibration device, in particular to an electric joint calibration method and a calibration device.
背景技术Background technique
随着工业机械发展蓬勃,自动化设备、无线遥控等技术日益成熟,进而开始着重于机器人的研发,以执行工业上重复性高或是危险的工作。近年来,除了工业领域外,机器人的应用更拓展至国防、医疗、服务业以及居家伴随机器人。机器人往往被设计以执行精密的工作流程甚至更细腻,更拟人化的活动。With the booming industrial machinery, technologies such as automation equipment and wireless remote control are becoming more and more mature, and then began to focus on the development of robots to perform industrially repetitive or dangerous work. In recent years, in addition to the industrial field, the application of robots has expanded to the national defense, medical, service industry and home accompanying robots. Robots are often designed to perform sophisticated workflows and even more delicate, more anthropomorphic activities.
然而,当机器人的各身体组件在经组装时,往往会有些许角度上的偏差,导致各个机器人的关节的实际出厂默认值可能有所不同,进而使得这些机器人在接收同一中控系统的控制命令时,每个机器人执行命令的结果可能有所差异。举例来说,甲机器人在出厂时其手臂与地面垂直,而乙机器人在出厂时其手臂则与垂直于地面的轴夹有1度角(1°)。如此一来,当中控系统指示甲及乙机器人的手臂关节执行旋转任一角度时,甲及乙机器人的执行结果之间将会有1度角(1°)的差异。However, when the body components of the robot are assembled, there will be some slight deviations in the angles, which may cause the actual factory default values of the joints of the individual robots to be different, so that the robots receive the control commands of the same central control system. The results of each robot's execution of commands may vary. For example, a robot is shipped with its arm perpendicular to the ground, while the B robot is shipped with its arm at an angle of 1 degree (1°) to the axis perpendicular to the ground. In this way, when the central control system instructs the arm joints of the robots A and B to perform any angle of rotation, there will be a difference of 1 degree (1°) between the execution results of the robots A and B.
因此,如何解决上述现有技术存在的不足,便成为本发明所要研究解决的课题。Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art has become a problem to be solved by the present invention.

下面结合附图及实施例对本发明作进一步描述:The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
实施例:请参考图1A及1B,图1A及1B分别为依据本发明一实施例所绘示的适用于机器人1的关节10的电动关节校准装置2的侧视图及局部前视图。如图1A及1B所示,电动关节校准装置2用以校准机器人1的关节10,其中机器人1的关节10为电动关节,具有马达100以带动机器人的身体组件12转动。电动关节校准装置2包含有多个限位治具21A及21B、电流侦测电路23、角度传感器25以及控制器27,其中控制器27连接于电流侦测电路23及角度传感器25。1A and 1B are respectively a side view and a partial front view of an electric joint calibration device 2 suitable for the joint 10 of the robot 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the electric joint calibration device 2 is used to calibrate the joint 10 of the robot 1, wherein the joint 10 of the robot 1 is an electric joint having a motor 100 to drive the body assembly 12 of the robot to rotate. The electric joint calibration device 2 includes a plurality of limit fixtures 21A and 21B, a current detecting circuit 23, an angle sensor 25, and a controller 27, wherein the controller 27 is connected to the current detecting circuit 23 and the angle sensor 25.
限位治具21A及21B用以阻挡机器人1的身体组件12转动而使得马达的转动电流具有预先定义的最大电流值。详细来说,以图1A及1B所呈现的实施例来作说明,在马达100带动身体组件12逆时针转动的过程中,身体组件12会被限位治具21A阻挡而无法转动,也就是说,马达100会呈堵转状态,此时马达100的转动电流将具有预先定义的最大电流值,其中预先定义的最大电流值为马达100的堵转电流值。另一方面,在马达100带动身体组件12顺时针转动的过程中,身体组件12会被限位治具21B阻挡而呈堵转状态,使马达100的转动电流将具有预先定义的最大电流值。于此实施例中,限位治具21A及21B的数量以两个为例,然而本发明并不限于此。于此实施例中,电动关节校准装置2用以校准机器人1的关节10,其中关节10在此例中为肩膀关节,但本发明并不限于此,亦可用于脖子关节或四肢关节。The limit fixtures 21A and 21B are used to block the rotation of the body assembly 12 of the robot 1 such that the rotational current of the motor has a predefined maximum current value. In detail, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrates that during the rotation of the body assembly 12 counterclockwise by the motor 100, the body assembly 12 is blocked by the limit fixture 21A and cannot be rotated, that is, The motor 100 will be in a stalled state, at which time the rotational current of the motor 100 will have a predefined maximum current value, wherein the predefined maximum current value is the stall current value of the motor 100. On the other hand, during the clockwise rotation of the body assembly 12 by the motor 100, the body assembly 12 is blocked by the limit fixture 21B to be in a stalled state, so that the rotational current of the motor 100 will have a predefined maximum current value. In this embodiment, the number of the limit fixtures 21A and 21B is exemplified by two, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the electric joint calibration device 2 is used to calibrate the joint 10 of the robot 1, wherein the joint 10 is a shoulder joint in this example, but the invention is not limited thereto, and can also be used for a neck joint or a limb joint.
电流侦测电路23受控于控制器27并用以连接于马达100以取得马达100的转动电流。详细来说,电流侦测电路23可以依据控制器27的控制指令定期地取得马达100的转动电流,再将其回传至控制器27。The current detecting circuit 23 is controlled by the controller 27 and is connected to the motor 100 to obtain the rotating current of the motor 100. In detail, the current detecting circuit 23 can periodically acquire the rotational current of the motor 100 in accordance with the control command of the controller 27, and then transmit it back to the controller 27.
角度传感器25则用以侦测对应于关节10的转动角度的量测值。如图1B所示,角度传感器25以对应于关节10的齿轮组102的方式设置。于此实施例中,角度传感器25例如为增量型的磁式角度传感器,其量测值为电压值,范围可为0~3.3伏特(V),且量测值与转动角度间具有比例关系,此比例关系视角度传感器25可量测的转动角度范围而定。The angle sensor 25 is used to detect a measurement value corresponding to the rotation angle of the joint 10. As shown in FIG. 1B, the angle sensor 25 is disposed in a manner corresponding to the gear set 102 of the joint 10. In this embodiment, the angle sensor 25 is, for example, an incremental magnetic angle sensor, and the measured value is a voltage value ranging from 0 to 3.3 volts (V), and the measured value has a proportional relationship with the rotation angle. This proportional relationship depends on the range of rotational angles that the angle sensor 25 can measure.
举例来说,在角度传感器25可量测的转动角度范围为0~180度(0°~180°)的情况下,角度传感器25侦测得1.1V的量测值即对应于60度(60°)的转动角度;也就是 说,当角度传感器25所侦测到的量测值为1.1V时,即可判断关节10转动了60度(60°)。举另一个例子,在角度传感器25可量测的转动角度范围设计为0~360度(0°~360°)的情况下,当角度传感器25侦测到1.1V的量测值时,即可判断关节10转动了120度(120°)。本领域技术人员得以依据实际所需来设计角度传感器可量测的角度范围。以机器人的脖子关节为例,为了符合人类的肢体动作,可以设计转动角度范围为0~180度(0°~180°)的角度传感器。而以肩膀关节为例,则可设计转动角度范围为0~360度(0°~360°)的角度传感器。For example, in the case where the angle of rotation of the angle sensor 25 can be measured in the range of 0 to 180 degrees (0 to 180 degrees), the angle sensor 25 detects a measured value of 1.1 V, which corresponds to 60 degrees (60). °) The angle of rotation; that is, when the measured value of the angle sensor 25 is 1.1V, it can be judged that the joint 10 is rotated by 60 degrees (60°). As another example, when the angle of rotation of the angle sensor 25 is designed to be 0 to 360 degrees (0 to 360 degrees), when the angle sensor 25 detects a measured value of 1.1 V, It is judged that the joint 10 is rotated by 120 degrees (120°). Those skilled in the art can design the angular range that the angle sensor can measure according to actual needs. Taking the neck joint of the robot as an example, in order to conform to the human body motion, an angle sensor with a rotation angle ranging from 0 to 180 degrees (0 to 180 degrees) can be designed. Taking the shoulder joint as an example, an angle sensor with a rotation angle ranging from 0 to 360 degrees (0 to 360 degrees) can be designed.
控制器27用以连接至马达100,以控制马达100往一方向转动,并同时判断来自电流侦测电路23的转动电流值是否等于马达100的预先定义的最大电流值。当控制器27判断转动电流值等于预先定义的最大电流值时,控制器27控制角度传感器25侦测对应于转动角度的量测值,并接着控制马达100往另一方向转动,以同于上述的判断步骤取得另一量测值,再依据两个量测值产生校准值以完成机器人1的关节10的校准。The controller 27 is configured to be coupled to the motor 100 to control the motor 100 to rotate in one direction and simultaneously determine whether the value of the rotational current from the current detecting circuit 23 is equal to a predefined maximum current value of the motor 100. When the controller 27 determines that the rotational current value is equal to the predefined maximum current value, the controller 27 controls the angle sensor 25 to detect the measured value corresponding to the rotational angle, and then controls the motor 100 to rotate in the other direction, as described above. The determining step obtains another measured value, and then generates a calibration value according to the two measured values to complete the calibration of the joint 10 of the robot 1.
于另一实施例中,角度传感器25亦可为内建于机器人1的组件,而电动关节校准装置2可以包含有无线收发器以无线的方式执行驱动马达100、侦测马达100的电流以及读取角度传感器25的量测值的动作。In another embodiment, the angle sensor 25 can also be a component built into the robot 1, and the electric joint calibration device 2 can include a wireless transceiver to wirelessly execute the drive motor 100, detect the current of the motor 100, and read The action of taking the measured value of the angle sensor 25 is taken.
详细的校准方法请一并参考图1B、图2及图3A~3C。图2为依据本发明一实施例所绘示的机器人关节的电动关节校准方法的流程图,而图3A~3C则为依据本发明一实施例所绘示的机器人关节的电动关节校准装置的运作示意图。如图3A所示,电动关节校准装置2在对机器人1的关节10进行校准时,电动关节校准装置2的控制器27会先控制关节10的马达100转动,使身体组件12转动至初始位置P0,即实际出厂默认位置。由图3A可得知,初始位置P0与理想默认位置Y之间夹有偏差角度θ0。由于多个机器人可能各自会有不同的偏差角度,故当这些机器人接收同一中控系统的控制命令(例如将手臂向前举30度(30°))时,每个机器人执行命令的结果可能会有所差异。因此通过图2所示的电动关节校准方法可以判断出如图3A中所示的偏差角度θ0,再依据此偏差角度θ0计算出校准值,以供后续对机器人的控制使用。For detailed calibration methods, please refer to FIG. 1B, FIG. 2 and FIGS. 3A to 3C together. 2 is a flow chart of a method for calibrating an electric joint of a robot joint according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3A-3C are diagrams showing operation of an electric joint calibration device for a robot joint according to an embodiment of the invention. schematic diagram. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the motor joint calibration device 2 calibrates the joint 10 of the robot 1, the controller 27 of the electric joint calibration device 2 first controls the rotation of the motor 100 of the joint 10 to rotate the body assembly 12 to the initial position P0. , the actual factory default location. As can be seen from FIG. 3A, a deviation angle θ0 is sandwiched between the initial position P0 and the ideal default position Y. Since multiple robots may each have different deviation angles, when these robots receive control commands from the same central control system (for example, lifting the arm forward by 30 degrees (30°)), the result of each robot executing the command may be There are differences. Therefore, the deviation angle θ0 as shown in FIG. 3A can be determined by the electric joint calibration method shown in FIG. 2, and the calibration value is calculated based on the deviation angle θ0 for subsequent control of the robot.
详细来说,如图2、3A及3B所示,于步骤S101中,控制器27控制马达100由初始位置P0往第一方向D1转动,同时控制电流侦测电路23取得马达100的第一转动电流(即马达100沿第一方向D1转动时的电流值)。当马达100带动身体组件12转动至第一位置P1时,身体组件12被限位治具21A阻挡而无法继续转动,此时马达100呈堵转状态,且其转动电流值将为预先定义的最大电流值。因此,于步骤S103中,当控制器27判断电流侦测电路23所取得的第一转动电流等于预先定义的最大电流值时,即表示马达100因身体组件12受阻而堵转,此时控制器27控制角度传感器25侦测第一量测值,此第一量 测值对应于关节10的第一转动角度θ1,即初始位置P0及第一位置P1之间的夹角。In detail, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3A and 3B, in step S101, the controller 27 controls the motor 100 to rotate from the initial position P0 to the first direction D1 while controlling the current detecting circuit 23 to obtain the first rotation of the motor 100. Current (ie, the value of the current when the motor 100 is rotated in the first direction D1). When the motor 100 drives the body assembly 12 to rotate to the first position P1, the body assembly 12 is blocked by the limit fixture 21A and cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the motor 100 is in a locked state, and its rotational current value will be a predefined maximum. Current value. Therefore, in step S103, when the controller 27 determines that the first rotation current obtained by the current detecting circuit 23 is equal to the predefined maximum current value, it means that the motor 100 is blocked due to the body component 12 being blocked, and the controller is now The control angle sensor 25 detects the first measurement value, which corresponds to the first rotation angle θ1 of the joint 10, that is, the angle between the initial position P0 and the first position P1.
接着,如图2、3B及3C所示,于步骤S105中,控制器27控制马达100自第一位置P1往第二方向D2转动,同时控制电流侦测电路23取得马达100的第二转动电流(即马达100沿第二方向D2转动时的电流值)。同于前述判断马达堵转的原理,于步骤S107中,当控制器27判断电流侦测电路23所取得的第二转动电流等于预先定义的最大电流值时,即表示马达100因身体组件12在第二位置P2被限位治具21B阻挡而堵转,此时角度传感器25侦测第二量测值,此第二量测值对应于关节10的第二转动角度θ2,即第一位置P1与第二位置P2之间的夹角。Next, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3B and 3C, in step S105, the controller 27 controls the motor 100 to rotate from the first position P1 to the second direction D2, while controlling the current detecting circuit 23 to obtain the second rotating current of the motor 100. (ie, the current value when the motor 100 rotates in the second direction D2). In the same manner as the above-mentioned principle of judging the motor stall, in step S107, when the controller 27 determines that the second rotation current obtained by the current detecting circuit 23 is equal to the predefined maximum current value, it means that the motor 100 is in the body component 12 The second position P2 is blocked by the limit fixture 21B and blocked. At this time, the angle sensor 25 detects the second measurement value, and the second measurement value corresponds to the second rotation angle θ2 of the joint 10, that is, the first position P1. An angle between the second position P2.
再来于步骤S109中,控制器27依据第一量测值及第二量测值来产生校准值。更详细来说,如图3A~3C所示,偏差角度θ0可由第一转动角度θ1及第二转动角度θ2计算推得,即方程式θ0=1/2*θ2-θ1。再者,如前所述,角度传感器25所量测出的量测值(例如为电压值)与关节10的转动角度间具有比例关系。于一实施例中,校准值可为第二量测值的二分之一减掉第一量测值的计算结果,也就是说校准值为对应于偏差角度θ0的电压值。而于另一实施例中,校准值为第二量测值的二分之一减掉第一量测值的计算结果再乘以调整系数而得。于又一实施例中,校准值则为第二量测值的二分之一减掉第一量测值的计算结果再加上调整值而得。如此一来,当理想默认位置并非位于第二转动角度θ2的一半时,可将理想默认位置与第二转动角度θ2的一半的差值设定为所述调整值,以取得对应于所述理想默认位置的校准值。In step S109, the controller 27 generates a calibration value according to the first measured value and the second measured value. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the deviation angle θ0 can be calculated by the first rotation angle θ1 and the second rotation angle θ2, that is, the equation θ0=1/2*θ2-θ1. Furthermore, as described above, the measured value (for example, the voltage value) measured by the angle sensor 25 has a proportional relationship with the rotational angle of the joint 10. In one embodiment, the calibration value may be one-half of the second measurement minus the calculation of the first measurement, that is, the calibration value is a voltage value corresponding to the deviation angle θ0. In another embodiment, the calibration value is obtained by subtracting one-half of the second measurement from the calculation result of the first measurement and multiplying by the adjustment coefficient. In still another embodiment, the calibration value is obtained by subtracting one-half of the second measurement value from the calculation result of the first measurement value and adding the adjustment value. In this way, when the ideal default position is not half of the second rotation angle θ2, the difference between the ideal default position and half of the second rotation angle θ2 may be set as the adjustment value to obtain the ideal value. The calibration value for the default position.
此外,上述实施例是以逆时针作为第一方向D1再以顺时针作为第二方向D2为例,然而本发明亦可以先顺时针再逆时针的顺序进行校准。In addition, the above embodiment is an example in which the counterclockwise direction is the first direction D1 and the clockwise direction is the second direction D2. However, the present invention can also perform the calibration in the clockwise and counterclockwise order.
接下来请参考图4A及4B,图4A及4B分别为依据本发明另一实施例所绘示的电动关节校准装置的侧视图及局部前视图。如图4A及4B所示,电动关节校准装置3同于图1A及1B所示的电动关节校准装置2,用于校准机器人1的关节10,其中关节10具有马达100以带动机器人1的身体组件12转动。电动关节校准装置3包含距离传感器31、角度传感器35以及控制器37,其中控制器37连接于距离传感器31及角度传感器35。4A and 4B, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are respectively a side view and a partial front view of the electric joint calibration apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the electric joint calibration device 3 is the same as the electric joint calibration device 2 shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B for calibrating the joint 10 of the robot 1, wherein the joint 10 has a motor 100 to drive the body component of the robot 1. 12 turns. The electric joint calibration device 3 includes a distance sensor 31, an angle sensor 35, and a controller 37, wherein the controller 37 is connected to the distance sensor 31 and the angle sensor 35.
距离传感器31例如是红外线传感器,用于侦测身体组件12与距离传感器31之间的距离。角度传感器35用以侦测对应于关节10的转动角度的量测值。类似于图1B的实施例中所述的角度传感器25,如图4B所示,角度传感器35对应于关节10的齿轮组102以设置,其量测值例如为电压值且与关节10的转动角度间具有比例关系,详细的比例关系如前所述,于此不再赘述。The distance sensor 31 is, for example, an infrared sensor for detecting the distance between the body component 12 and the distance sensor 31. The angle sensor 35 is for detecting a measurement value corresponding to the rotation angle of the joint 10. Similar to the angle sensor 25 described in the embodiment of FIG. 1B, as shown in FIG. 4B, the angle sensor 35 is disposed corresponding to the gear set 102 of the joint 10, the measured value thereof being, for example, a voltage value and a rotation angle with the joint 10. There is a proportional relationship, and the detailed proportional relationship is as described above, and will not be described here.
控制器37用于连接至马达100以控制其往一方向转动,并判断距离传感器31所侦测的距离是否等于预设距离。当控制器37判断距离传感器31所侦测的距离等于预设距 离时,控制器37控制角度传感器35侦测对应于转动角度的量测值,再依据此量测值以及对应于预设距离的预设量测值产生校准值。The controller 37 is for connecting to the motor 100 to control its rotation in one direction, and determines whether the distance detected by the distance sensor 31 is equal to the preset distance. When the controller 37 determines that the distance detected by the distance sensor 31 is equal to the preset distance, the controller 37 controls the angle sensor 35 to detect the measured value corresponding to the rotation angle, and then according to the measured value and the preset distance. The preset measurement produces a calibration value.
于另一实施例中,角度传感器35亦可为内建于机器人1的组件,而电动关节校准装置3可以包含有无线收发器以无线的方式执行驱动马达100以及读取角度传感器25的量测值的动作。In another embodiment, the angle sensor 35 can also be a component built into the robot 1, and the electric joint calibration device 3 can include a wireless transceiver to wirelessly perform the measurement of the drive motor 100 and the read angle sensor 25. The action of the value.
详细的校准方法请一并参考图4B、5、6A及6B。图5为依据本发明另一实施例所绘示的机器人关节的电动关节校准方法的流程图,图6A及6B则为依据本发明另一实施例所绘示的电动关节校准装置的运作示意图。如图6A所示,电动关节校准装置3在对机器人1的关节10进行校准时,电动关节校准装置3的控制器37会先控制关节10的马达100转动,使身体组件12转动至初始位置P0(实际出厂默认位置),其中初始位置P0与理想默认位置Y之间夹有偏差角度θ0。For detailed calibration methods, please refer to Figures 4B, 5, 6A and 6B together. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a method for calibrating an electric joint of a robot joint according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6A and 6B are schematic diagrams showing operation of the electric joint calibration apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the electric joint calibration device 3 calibrates the joint 10 of the robot 1, the controller 37 of the electric joint calibration device 3 first controls the rotation of the motor 100 of the joint 10 to rotate the body assembly 12 to the initial position P0. (actual factory default position), in which the deviation angle θ0 is sandwiched between the initial position P0 and the ideal default position Y.
为了取得偏差角度θ0以计算出校准值,如图5、6A及6B所示,于步骤S201中,控制器37控制马达100由初始位置P0往第三方向D3转动,并控制距离传感器31侦测身体组件12与距离传感器31之间的距离作为第一距离W1。当控制器37自距离传感器31取得第一距离W1时,会判断第一距离W1是否等于预设距离W0,其中预设距离W0对应于一预设转动角度。于步骤S203中,如图6B所示,当关节10的马达100带动身体组件12转动至第三位置P3且此时身体组件12与距离传感器31之间的第一距离W1等于预设距离W0时,控制器37会控制角度传感器35侦测关节10的第三转动角度θ3以取得量测值,其中第三转动角度θ3即为初始位置P0及第三位置P3之间的夹角。In order to obtain the deviation angle θ0 to calculate the calibration value, as shown in FIGS. 5, 6A and 6B, in step S201, the controller 37 controls the motor 100 to rotate from the initial position P0 to the third direction D3, and controls the distance sensor 31 to detect. The distance between the body assembly 12 and the distance sensor 31 is taken as the first distance W1. When the controller 37 obtains the first distance W1 from the distance sensor 31, it is determined whether the first distance W1 is equal to the preset distance W0, wherein the preset distance W0 corresponds to a preset rotation angle. In step S203, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the motor 100 of the joint 10 drives the body assembly 12 to rotate to the third position P3 and the first distance W1 between the body assembly 12 and the distance sensor 31 is equal to the preset distance W0. The controller 37 controls the angle sensor 35 to detect the third rotation angle θ3 of the joint 10 to obtain the measured value, wherein the third rotation angle θ3 is the angle between the initial position P0 and the third position P3.
理想上,若机器人的身体组件的初始位置与理想默认位置Y之间无偏差角度,则当身体组件与距离传感器31之间的距离等于预设距离W0时,关节从初始位置转动了默认转动角度,因此角度传感器35所测得的量测值所对应的转动角度应等于预设转动角度。然而,于图6A~6B的实施例中,机器人1的身体组件12的初始位置P0与理想默认位置Y之间具有偏差角度θ0,因此当身体组件12与距离传感器31之间的距离等于预设距离W0时,角度传感器35所测得的量测值所对应的转动角度(第三转动角度θ3)将不等于预设转动角度,两者之间的差即为偏差角度θ0。Ideally, if there is no deviation angle between the initial position of the body component of the robot and the ideal default position Y, when the distance between the body component and the distance sensor 31 is equal to the preset distance W0, the joint is rotated from the initial position by the default rotation angle. Therefore, the rotation angle corresponding to the measured value measured by the angle sensor 35 should be equal to the preset rotation angle. However, in the embodiment of FIGS. 6A to 6B, the initial position P0 of the body assembly 12 of the robot 1 has a deviation angle θ0 from the ideal default position Y, so that the distance between the body assembly 12 and the distance sensor 31 is equal to the preset. When the distance is W0, the rotation angle (the third rotation angle θ3) corresponding to the measured value measured by the angle sensor 35 will not be equal to the preset rotation angle, and the difference between the two is the deviation angle θ0.
因此于步骤S205中,控制器37依据对应于第三转动角度θ3的量测值以及对应于预设距离W0的预设量测值以产生校准值。如前所述,预设距离W0对应于预设转动角度,即第三位置P3与理想默认位置Y之间的夹角。又控制器37可将预设转动角度依照角度传感器35的转动角度-量测值比例关系取得对应的预设量测值,再减去对应于第三转动角度θ3的量测值以取得对应于偏差角度θ0的计算结果。于一实施例中,校准值即为所述对应于偏差角度θ0的计算结果,而于另一实施例中,校准值为以此计算结果再乘上调 整系数而得,于又一实施例中,校准值则为以此计算结果在加上调整值而得。Therefore, in step S205, the controller 37 generates a calibration value according to the measured value corresponding to the third rotational angle θ3 and the preset measured value corresponding to the preset distance W0. As described above, the preset distance W0 corresponds to the preset rotation angle, that is, the angle between the third position P3 and the ideal default position Y. The controller 37 can obtain the corresponding preset measurement value according to the rotation angle-measurement value proportional relationship of the angle sensor 35, and subtract the measurement value corresponding to the third rotation angle θ3 to obtain a corresponding value. The calculation result of the deviation angle θ0. In one embodiment, the calibration value is the calculation result corresponding to the deviation angle θ0, and in another embodiment, the calibration value is obtained by multiplying the adjustment coefficient by the calculation result. In still another embodiment, The calibration value is obtained by adding the adjustment value to the calculation result.
上述实施例中的电动关节校准装置2或3更可以包含内存电性连接于控制器27或37以储存通过电动关节校准方法所产生的校准值,因此在后续机器人1的控制中,可以依据所述校准值调整控制指令。举例来说,当机器人1的关节10的初始位置P0(实际出厂默认位置)与理想默认位置Y之间的偏差角度θ0为1度角时,经上述实施例的电动关节校准装置2或3的校准,会产生并储存对应于1度角的校准值。而在后续机器人1的控制中,当控制者欲使机器人1将身体组件12抬举20度角(20°),中控系统可依据校准值调整控制指令为抬举19度角(19°),如此一来机器人1即可精准地将身体组件12抬举20度角(20°)。The electric joint calibration device 2 or 3 in the above embodiment may further include a memory electrically connected to the controller 27 or 37 to store the calibration value generated by the electric joint calibration method, so that in the control of the subsequent robot 1, the The calibration value adjustment control command. For example, when the deviation angle θ0 between the initial position P0 (the actual factory default position) of the joint 10 of the robot 1 and the ideal default position Y is 1 degree angle, the electric joint calibration device 2 or 3 of the above embodiment Calibration will generate and store a calibration value corresponding to a 1 degree angle. In the control of the subsequent robot 1, when the controller wants the robot 1 to lift the body assembly 12 by 20 degrees (20°), the central control system can adjust the control command according to the calibration value to raise the angle by 19 degrees (19°), Once the robot 1 has been able to accurately lift the body assembly 12 by 20 degrees (20°).
