Physically Constrained Kinematic Calibration for High-Precision Robotic Needle Guidance

Physically Constrained Kinematic Calibration for High-Precision Robotic Needle Guidance

Summary

This paper presents a robust bound-constrained kinematic calibration method to improve positional accuracy for a 6-DoF robotic needle-guidance manipulator. By using physically plausible parameter ranges as active optimization constraints, the approach mitigates parameter coupling and overfitting. In simulation, the method reduced end-effector RMSE from 3.422 mm to 0.690 mm (79.8% improvement). Benchtop experiments achieved sub-millimeter validation accuracy, with 0.865 mm RMSE in trajectory validation and 0.610 mm RMSE in coordinate-lattice verification. These results establish a high-precision foundation for future clinical applications of robotic needle insertion.

Editorial context

The study demonstrates improved kinematic calibration for a 6-DoF robotic needle-guidance system, reducing end-effector RMSE from 3.422 mm to 0.690 mm in simulation and achieving sub-millimeter accuracy (0.865 mm RMSE) in benchtop hardware experiments.
