Abstract

This paper presents an evolutionary search strategy based on the island model to find the accurate transformation matrix between an infrared optical tracking system and a 6-axis robot arm. We demonstrate how a parallel genetic-algorithm mechanism, also known as the migration scheme, coupled with a local simplex-downhill strategy can effectively solve this multi-dimensional difficult problem. Finally, experimental and numerical example of the proposed strategy for a system composed of a Mitsubishi Electric RV 6S robot arm and an NDI Polaris system is presented. Performance of the calibrated positioning system has a maximum positioning error of 0.6 mm within a one meter cubic working space.
