Fused Smart Sensor Network for Multi-Axis Forward Kinematics Estimation in Industrial Robots

Flexible manipulator robots have a wide industrial application. Robot performance requires sensing its position and orientation adequately, known as forward kinematics. Commercially available, motion controllers use high-resolution optical encoders to sense the position of each joint which cannot de...
