Abstract
This paper presents a method of calibration of a 2D laser sensor (Profilometer) used in a robotic system of Additive Manufacturing. The proposed iterative method is based on Hand-Eye calibration and uses only information from data obtained with a single plane, without information of the plane localization. The calibration of the location of the profilometer with respect to the manipulator end-effector to which it is coupled is essential to extract geometric characteristics from parts manufactured by Additive Manufacturing. Simulations and experiments in a robotic Additive Manufacturing system show the effectiveness of the proposed method to determine the sensor pose with respect to the end-effector coordinate system.
