- Hello
-
- We have designed a transputer based controller for a small SCARA robot
- and developed some pid control routines to control robot position.
- Now what we are interested in doing is, measurement of the robot
- end effector position in the laboratory. If we can measure the actual
- position of the end effector at say one point and command the robot
- to move through a specified distance, and repeat the measurement, then
- we can check the actual position accuracy of the robot.
-
- Any suggestions for a method which can be implemented in a lab are
- wellcome.
-
- Thanks.
