Abstract
This paper explores the design of a calibration technique for the kinematic model for the NAO robot. Mobile humanoid robots usually present complex kinematic chains and dull and time-consuming off-line calibration methods. For the purpose of this paper NAO’s kinematic chain is separated into smaller end-to-end chain units and calibrated individually. By using Computer Vision techniques, we propose an experiment that combined with homogeneous transformations and forward kinematics analysis can lead to a reliable calibration technique. The main result expected is an accurate calibration for the robot kinematic chain.
