Improving Positional Accuracy for Robotic Assembly Tasks
 |
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a procedure to reduce the positional error of an object as measured by a perception sensor and relayed to a robot for action. This reduced positional error improves the quality of assembly tasks such as insertion, picking, part mating, and drilling. This procedure does not require purchasing additional hardware. |
 |
A description and implementation of the procedure, Restoration of Rigid-Body Condition (RRBC), may be downloaded below. The improvement in an insertion task using the RRBC method was quantified using peg-in-hole experiments. These results may also be downloaded below and data from the experiments may be downloaded from this link. |
