This invention discloses a method for determining the
structural error during
kinematic calibration simulation of a parallel mechanism, applicable to the calibration of industrial parallel robots. The method involves establishing structural constraint equations for the parallel mechanism to determine independent variables in the structural parameters; combining the structural constraint equations and independent variable values to calculate the values of non-independent variables in the structural parameters; calculating the motion of each
prismatic joint under ideal structural parameter conditions with a given target
pose, establishing the correlation between
pose parameters and motion; given an initial
structural error value, calculating the
structural error value conforming to geometric constraints using constraint equations and nonlinear
least squares method, and calculating the norm of the residuals. If the residuals meet the requirements, the structural error for
kinematic calibration simulation of the parallel mechanism can be generated; if the
residual value does not meet the requirements, the generated structural error is used as input, and a new structural error value is generated again using constraint equations and nonlinear
least squares method, and the residual calculation is repeated until the
residual value meets the requirements, thus generating a structural error that meets the requirements and accurately verifying the structural
error identification accuracy of the error model.
