Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for the forward kinematics and online self-calibration of cable-driven parallel robots. Covariance-based metrics known as the position dilution of precision (PDOP) and orientation dilution of precision (ODOP) are introduced as a means to quantify the quality of data collected with regards to self-calibration. These metrics enable systematic pruning of the data used for self-calibration and an assessment of when sufficiently rich data has been collected to perform self-calibration. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated through inverse-kinematics- and dynamics-based numerical simulations.
