Nonlinear optimal robot hand-eye calibration based on maximum likelihood estimation is proposed. For the errors in both robot forward position kinematics and camera extrinsic calibration
the classical hand-eye transformation matrix equation often gets violated
thus the existing robot hand-eye calibration algorithms derived from the equation are sensitive to the measurement noise. The proposed strategy estimates the hand-eye transformation and the true measurements according to the noisy measurements to guarantee that the true measurements satisfy the hand-eye equation and the distance to the noisy measurements is minimal. Two classical hand-eye calibration methods are also implemented for comparison. Numerical simulations and real robot hand-eye calibration experiment are performed and the results show the proposed strategy has higher accuracy
sensitivity to motion numbers
and stability.
