Calibration method and device for relative spatial position relation of multiple robots

Abstract

The invention relates to a calibration method and device for a relative spatial position relation of multiple robots. The calibration method comprises the steps that hand-eye calibration is conductedon 3D sensors on all the robots to obtain the position conversion relation of each 3D sensor relative to the tail end of the corresponding robot, 3D point cloud data of a calibration object placed ina common working space of the multiple robots are collected through the 3D sensors on all the robots to obtain measurement position coordinates of the calibration object in the corresponding 3D sensors, and meanwhile the measurement position coordinates of the tail end of the current robot in a base coordinate system of the robot are obtained when the 3D sensors on all the robots collect the 3D point cloud data of the calibration object. In the abovementioned way, by changing the position of the calibration object in the common working space of the multiple robots, multiple sets of measurementposition coordinates are obtained, the relative spatial position relation between the multiple robots is calculated according to the position conversion relation of each 3D sensor relative to the tail end of the corresponding robot and the multiple sets of measurement position coordinates, and accurate calibration of the spatial position relation of the multiple robots is achieved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial robots, in particular to a method for calibrating the relative spatial position relationship of multiple robots, a computer-readable storage medium, a calibration device for the relative spatial position relationship of multiple robots, and a multi-robot system. Background technique

[0002] The application of industrial robots continues to expand to various industries. In some applications, the size of the workpiece needs to be calculated, or other tasks need to be completed collaboratively, and the size of the workpiece may be quite large or the working space of the robot is quite large. For example, the size of the workpiece reaches 10m*3m* 1m, currently there is no corresponding visual device that can shoot such a large visual range. At this time, each robot end is generally equipped with a visual sensor, and each visual sensor captures a part of the workpiece. Through the relative ...
