Global navigation satellite system (GNSS)/inertial navigation system (INS) navigation technology is one of the core technologies in a mobile measurement system and can provide real-time geo-referenced information. However, in the environment measurements, buildings cover up the GNSS signal, causing satellite signals to experience loss-of-lock. At this time errors of INS independent navigation accumulate rapidly, so it cannot meet the needs of the mobile measurement system. In this paper, a positioning error compensation method based on plane control is proposed by analyzing the error characteristics of position and orientation caused by satellite signal loss-of-lock in the urban environment. This method control uses planar features and the laser point cloud positioning equation to establish an adjustment model that ignores the influence of the attitude error and finds the positioning error at the middle point of the GNSS signal loss-of-lock time period, and then compensates for the error at other points by using the characteristics of the positioning error. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the compensated laser point cloud has been significantly improved, and the feasibility of the method is verified. Meanwhile, the method can rely on the existing building plane so the method is adaptable and easy to implement.

Attachment changing in demolition robots has a high docking accuracy requirement, so it is hard for operators to control this process remotely through the perspective of a camera. To solve this problem, this study investigated positioning error and proposed a method of error compensation to achieve a highly precise attachment changing process. This study established a link parameter model for the demolition robot, measured the error in the attachment changing, introduced a reference coordinate system to solve the coordinate transformation from the dock spot of the robot’s quick-hitch equipment to the dock spot of the attachment, and realized error compensation. Through calculation and experimentation, it was shown that the error compensation method proposed in this study reduced the level of error in attachment changing from the centimeter to millimeter scale, thereby meeting the accuracy requirements for attachment changing. This method can be applied to the remote-controlled attachment changing process of demolition robots, which provides the basis for the subsequent automatic changing of attachments. This has the potential to be applied in nuclear facility decommissioning and dismantling, as well as other radioactive environments.

Due to the complexity of measurement system, it is hard correct errors by using traditional error separation and error tracing technology. To reduce the production cost and improve the measurement accuracy, a novel error compensation method based on harmonic analysis is presented in this paper. In this way, high precision time grating sensors can be manufactured with low precision mechanical machining method. The experiment results prove that errors can be reduce within ±2″.

Insufficient stiffness of industrial robots is a significant factor which affects its positioning accuracy. To improve the positioning accuracy, a novel positioning error compensation method based on the stiffness modelling is proposed in this paper. First, the positioning errors considering the end load and gravity of industrial robots due to stiffness are analyzed. Based on the results of analysis, it is found that the positioning errors can be described by two kinds of deformation errors at joints: the axial deformation error and the radial deformation error. Then, the axial deformation error is modelled by the differential relationship of kinematics equations. The model of radial deformation error is deduced through the recurrence method and rotation transformation between joints. Finally, these two models are transformed into a Cartesian coordinate system, and a positioning error compensation method based on these two models is presented. Simulations based on the finite element analysis are implemented to verify the positioning error compensation method. The results show that the suggested method can efficiently predict the positioning error according to the gravity and loads, so that the positioning accuracy of industrial robots can be improved with the proposed method.
