Abstract: To use a wrist-mounted sensor (such as a camera) for a robot task, the position and orientation of the sensor with respect to the robot wrist frame must be known. The sensor mounting position can be found by moving the robot and observing the resulting motion of the sensor. This yields a homogeneous transform equation of the form AX=XB, where A is the change in the robot wrist position, B is the resulting sensor displacement, and X is the sensor position relative to the robot wrist. The solution to an equation of this form has one degree of rotational freedom and one degree of translation freedom if the angle of rotation of A is neither 0 nor pi radians. To solve for X uniquely, it is necessary to make two arm movements and form a system of two equations of the form: A/sub 1/X=XB/sub 1/ and A/sub 2/X=XB/sub 2/. A closed-form solution to this system of equations is developed and the necessary conditions for uniqueness are stated. >

Hand-Eye Calibration Using Dual Quaternions
TL;DR: This paper algebraically prove that if the authors consider the camera and motor transformations as screws, then only the line coefficients of the screw axes are relevant regarding the hand-eye calibration, and shows how a line transformation can be written with the dual-quaternion product.

TL;DR: A common mathematical framework is developed to solve for the hand-eye calibration problem using either of the two formulations and the nonlinear optimization method, which solves for rotation and translation simultaneously, seems to be the most robust one with respect to noise and measurement errors.

TL;DR: Two new solutions that attempt to solve the homogeneous matrix equation of the for, AX=ZB are presented: a closed-form method which uses quaternion algebra and a positive quadratic error function associated with this representation; and a method based on nonlinear constrained minimization and which simultaneously solves for rotations and translations.
