Kinematic Calibration Method for Large-Sized 7-DoF Hybrid Spray-Painting Robots
Large-sized seven-degrees-of-freedom (7-DoF) hybrid spray-painting robots combine ample working space and high flexibility, making them lucrative for the spray painting of aircraft and rocket surfaces.However, their kinematic calibration is hindered by gravitational deformation, which problem is addressed in this study by introducing a rigid-flexib
