Summary
OmniCalib is a new workflow that calibrates all 14 arm joint zeros and camera extrinsics on humanoid robots using only native motion and onboard sensors, without external targets. This method addresses sensor perturbations caused by assembly, wear, and component replacement.
AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Assembly, wear, and component replacement perturb the sensor extrinsics and joint zeros encoded by a humanoid CAD model. Existing procedures calibrate one sensor pair or require external fiducials. Using only robot-native motion and onboard sensing, we present OmniCalib, a target-free workflow that calibrates the...
Why it matters
Accurate calibration is crucial for humanoid robots to perform precise tasks, and OmniCalib simplifies this by eliminating the need for external fiducials or single sensor pair calibration. This can improve robot autonomy and reduce downtime during maintenance.
