Characterization of Positioning Accuracy of Deterministic Localization of Fixtures
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article an analysis is presented to the problem of characterizing the accuracy of deterministic localization of fixtures. In a statistical framework, the positioning accuracy of the workpiece localized by the locators of a fixture is described by a symmetric, positive-definite accurateness matrix (or variance matrix). The accurateness (variance) matrix is identified to have similar structural properties to the stiffness (compliance) matrix of an unloaded, stable robot grasp. This connection leads us to describe a set of frameinvariant characteristic parameters with geometric interpretation. The principal translational accuratenesses and rotational variances are defined for constructions of frame-invariant quality measures for a meaningful comparison of different locating schemes. Examples are presented to illustrate the concept and usefulness of the characterizing properties in optimizing a fixture layout. Keywords—Fixture localization, fixturing, grasping, accurateness, stiffness

Rapid expansions of new location-based services signify the need for finding accurate localization techniques for indoor environments. Among different techniques, RSS-based schemes and in particular oneof its variants which is based on Graph-based Semi-Supervised Learning (G-SSL) are widely-used approaches The superiority of this scheme is that it has low setup/training cost and at the same ti...
متن کاملA full-kinematic model of fixtures for precision locating applications
The conventional point-kinematic model of fixtures has only treated point geometry of the contacts between locators and workpiece. However, this model, which ignores the underlying surface properties of the locatorsplus-workpiece system, is inherently incapable of capturing the effects of the geometric properties important to accurate positioning of the workpiece. In this paper, we present a fi...
