Abstract

Abstract: Collaborative robots help the academia and industry to accelerate the work by introducing a new concept of cooperation between human and robot. In this paper, a calibration process for an active stereo vision rig has been automated to accelerate the task and improve the quality of the calibration. As illustrated in this paper by using Baxter Robot, the calibration process has been done faster by three times in comparison to the manual calibration that depends on the human. The quality of the calibration was improved by 120% when the Baxter robot was used.
