Learning from history: adaptive calibration of 'tilting spine' fiber positioners

This paper discusses a new approach for determining the calibration parameters of independently-actuated optical fibers in multi-object astronomical fiber positioning systems. This work comes from the development of a new type of piezoelectric motor intended to enhance the ‘tilting spine' fiber...
