A local product-of-exponentials method for the kinematic calibration of modular reconfigurable robots by Tan, Chee Tat.

“…Kinematic calibration is a process to identify and compensate for these inherent errors, through model modification, and thus can improve the absolute positioning accuracy of the robot. Similarly when applied for industrial robotics, kinematic calibration serves as a tool for improving the robot accuracy to its system repeatability. …”
