US Patent Issued to Amazon Technologies on Oct. 27 for "Robot kinematics calibration using compliance control" (Massachusetts Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 27 -- United States Patent no. 12,773,785, issued on Oct. 27, was assigned to Amazon Technologies Inc. (Seattle).

"Robot kinematics calibration using compliance control" was invented by Xinyi Cai (Stoneham, Mass.) and Mahyar Abdeetedal (Cambridge, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques described herein involve robotic kinematics calibration using compliance control. For example, a computer-implemented method can involve controlling, based at least in part on estimated kinematic parameters of a robotic manipulator that includes a joint, the robotic manipulator along a trajectory toward a guide with a known location with respect to the robotic manipulator.
