Robot Arm Control Device and Method

This technology is a grasping control method for robot arms that uses an optical tracker and a world marker placed within the workspace as a reference point. By calculating coordinate system transformation matrices between the robot tool tip, the world marker, and the target marker in multiple stages, this geometric control method determines the precise target position of the tool tip, even if the tracker's position changes or the robot and target are not within the same field of view.

Conventional eye-to-hand calibration requires a fixed tracker position, which limits the flexibility of the work environment. Furthermore, technologies that require the robot marker and target marker to be recognized simultaneously within a single field of view have significant limitations regarding the operating range.

This technology derives a third transformation relationship by converting the tool tip coordinates of the robot arm and the position coordinates of the target marker based on a world marker. By using a world marker with a polyhedral or curved structure that is easily recognizable from multiple angles, it increases the installation flexibility for the optical tracker and controls robot motion by establishing relational expressions between the robot base, arm end, tool tip, and robot marker. It can be applied to logistics picking, service robots, and manufacturing automation, improving robot arm control in diverse environments and allowing for clear marker recognition from various directions.

‍

‍

Key Features:

• A method where at least a portion of each step is performed by a processor, comprising the step of determining a first transformation relationship, which is the coordinate system transformation relationship between the world marker and the robot arm's tool tip
• The step of determining a fourth transformation relationship, which is the coordinate system transformation relationship between the robot marker located on the robot arm's end effector and the tool tip
• The step of determining a second transformation relationship, which is the coordinate system transformation relationship between the world marker and the target marker located on the target
• The step of determining a fifth transformation relationship, which is the coordinate system transformation relationship between the robot marker and the arm end portion
