Kinematic calibration is crucial to improve the positioning accuracy of serial robots. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for robotic kinematic calibration based on an augmented product of exponentials (POE)-based kinematic model using Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) with only position data. In this algorithm, non-geometric errors that cannot be fitted by varying the parameters within the tradit...
