Patricio Vela: Course Wiki

Every robot needs to be calibrated in some manner or another. This activity is about doing that for the small planar Piktul robot that you'll be working with first. A huge chunk of the information can be found in the manipulation interface documentation page which includes both the Matlab files you'll need to proceed plus the instructions for how to connect and calibrate the Piktul robot.

Demonstration will involve moving the manipulator to different joint configurations and confirmation that they indeed go to where expected. The test calibration file may even be useful for you as you proceed to program the robot in future lab activities.
