In this section, the model-based approach to improve robot work cell accuracy is presented. The first step of the calibration process is to acquire a set of measurements containing the pose of the end-effector frame relative to a fixed measurement frame and the corresponding joint angles at that pose. This set of measurement data will be used to optimize the set of parameters pi for i = 1, ... , n+1 in the robot kinematic model (12), where n denotes the number of robot joints, to best describe the end-effector pose given a set of joint angles. The frame assignment used in this section is illustrated in Fig. 2 for a 6-link robot. The reference frame used in this section is the measurement frame {K0}.
