+ | Kinematic models are widely used in robotics to describe the mechanism | ||
+ | of a robot. For example, the kinematic model of a manipulation robot | ||
+ | is typically specified by the position of its joints, and the size and orientation of its links. Kinematic models are usually derived | ||
+ | analytically by a robot engineer and thus rely heavily on prior | ||
+ | knowledge about the geometry of the robot. When such a model is | ||
+ | applied to a real robot, its parameters have to be carefully | ||
+ | calibrated to ensure a high accuracy, for example, | ||
+ | using expensive calibration systems at the robot manufacturer' | ||
+ | As robotic systems become more versatile and are increasingly | ||
+ | delivered in completely reconfigurable ways, there is a growing demand | ||
+ | for techniques to learn kinematic models automatically. Ideally, such | ||
+ | techniques would neither require human intervention nor costly | ||
+ | calibration equipment. This capability does not only facilitate the | ||
+ | deployment and calibration of new robotic systems but also enables | ||
+ | robots to autonomously adapt their models when the kinematics change, | ||
+ | for example, as a result of hardware failures or material | ||
+ | fatigue. Furthermore, | ||
+ | robot to include a tool dynamically in its kinematic model. | ||
