US Patent 11254019 Automatic calibration for a robot optical sensor

Systems and methods are provided for automatic intrinsic and extrinsic calibration for a robot optical sensor. An implementation includes an optical sensor; a robot arm; a calibration chart; one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform operations that includes: determining a set of poses for calibrating the first optical sensor; generating, based at least on the set of poses, pose data comprising three dimensional (3D) position and orientation data; moving, based at least on the pose data, the robot arm into a plurality of poses; at each pose of the plurality of poses, capturing a set of images of the calibration chart with the first optical sensor and recording a pose; calculating intrinsic calibration parameters, based at least on the set of captured images; and calculating extrinsic calibration parameters, based at least on the set of captured images.
