Application of Kalman filters to robot calibrationThis report explores new uses of Kalman filter theory in manufacturing systems (robots in particular). The Kalman filter allows the robot to read its sensors plus external sensors and learn from its experience. In effect, the robot is given primitive intelligence. The study, which is applicable to any type of powered kinematic linkage, focuses on the calibration of a manipulator.
