✦ Synopsis

The complete and parametrically continuous (CPC) robot kinematic modeling convention has no model singularities and allows the modeling of the robot base and tool in the same manner by which the internal links are modeled. These two properties can be utilized to construct robot kinematic error models employing the minimum number of kinematic error parameters. These error parameters are independent and span the entire geometric error space. The BASE and TOOL error models are derived as special cases of the regular CPC error model. The CPC error model is useful for both kinematic identification and kinematic compensation. This paper focuses on the derivation of the CPC error models and their use in the experimental implementation of robot calibration.
