  • Patent number: 11247340
    Abstract: This disclosure is related to a non-contact tool center point calibration method for a robot arm, and the method comprises: obtaining a coordinate transformation relationship between a flange surface of the robot arm and cameras by a hand-eye calibration algorithm; constructing a space coordinate system by a stereoscopic reconstruction method; actuating a replaceable member fixed with the flange surface to present postures in a union field of view of the cameras sequentially, recording feature coordinates of the replaceable member in the space coordinate system, and recording flange surface coordinates which is under the postures in the space coordinate system; obtaining a transformation relationship between a tool center point and the flange surface; and updating the transformation relationship into a control program of the robot arm. Moreover, the disclosure further discloses a calibration device performing the calibration method and a robot arm system having the calibration function.
