Abstract
An end effector calibration assembly includes an electronic controller, a first camera assembly communicatively coupled to the electronic controller, and a second camera assembly communicatively coupled to the electronic controller. A first image capture path of the first camera assembly intersects a second image capture path of the second camera assembly. The electronic controller receives image data from the first camera assembly, receives image data from the second camera assembly, and calibrates a position of the robot end effector based on the image data received from the first camera assembly and the second camera assembly.
Claims20
An end effector calibration assembly, comprising:
- an electronic controller;
- a first camera assembly communicatively coupled to the electronic controller;
- and
- a second camera assembly communicatively coupled to the electronic controller, wherein a first image capture path of the first camera assembly intersects a second image capture path of the second camera assembly, wherein the electronic controller:
- receives image data from the first camera assembly;
- receives image data from the second camera assembly;
- and
- calibrates a position of a robot end effector based on the image data received from the first camera assembly and the second camera assembly.
An end effector calibration system, comprising:
- an electronic controller;
- a robotic arm communicatively coupled to the electronic controller;
- a robot end effector coupled to an end of the robotic arm;
- a first camera assembly communicatively coupled to the electronic controller;
- and
- a second camera assembly communicatively coupled to the electronic controller, wherein a first image capture path of the first camera assembly intersects a second image capture path of the second camera assembly, wherein the electronic controller:
- moves the robotic arm such that the robot end effector is positioned within the first image capture path and the second image capture path;
- receives image data from the first camera assembly;
- receives image data from the second camera assembly;
- and
- calibrates a position of the robot end effector based on the image data received from the first camera assembly and the second camera assembly.
A method for calibrating a position of a robot end effector, the method comprising:
- positioning the robot end effector simultaneously within a first image capture path of a first camera assembly and a second image capture path of a second camera assembly;
- and
- calibrating a position of the robot end effector based on the image data received from the first camera assembly and the second camera assembly.
