Abstract:Aiming at the problems of complex error model and low efficiency of parameter identification in the kinematic calibration of parallel robots, an error modeling method and an efficient, stable parameter identification algorithm were proposed for parallel robots. Kinematic analysis of the parallel robot was completed based on the closed-loop vector method. Building upon this foundation, the concept of equivalent errors was introduced, and a corresponding error model was established. To meet the high-precision requirements of parameter identification algorithms, improvements were made to overcome the low convergence accuracy deficiency of the rime optimization algorithm (RIME). Specifically, the bisection method, Lévy selection operator, and alternating sine-cosine strategy were proposed to enhance its initialization performance, global optimization capability, and local optimization capability. The improved algorithm, termed modified RIME (MRIME), was then employed for error parameter identification. Based on the identification results, compensation was applied to the robot’s drive inputs. Calibration experiments were conducted by using a Delta robot as the study object. Experimental results demonstrated that the modified RIME algorithm significantly improved optimization efficiency, accuracy, and stability. The average parameter identification time was 0.126s. After calibration, the robot’s average positional accuracy was improved by 41.96%. These results validated the effectiveness of the proposed error model and parameter identification algorithm.
