ROBOT ARM MODELLING

Abstract: a method of determining the position and shape of a flexible arm robot having at least one distributed bragg reflector integrated, the method comprising: moving the flexible arm robot through a series of movements; tracking the movements of the flexible arm robot and recording positional data of at least a section of the flexible arm robot as a ground truth and interrogating the distributed bragg reflector during these movements; inputting the data from the interrogation of the distributed bragg reflector and the camera into a machine learning algorithm; using the output of the machine learning algorithm to determine a calibration function for the position of the distributed bragg reflector within the flexible arm robot; and applying the calibration function to software used to control the movement of the flexible arm robot.
