Car Coordinate System

The origin of the component’s coordinate system of a car is located between the driver and the co-driver. In this case, the x-axis points to the driving direction, the...

Position mismatch

One reason for the position mismatch of robots may on one hand result from a modified calibration (zeros) of the changed or repaired robot, on the other hand from the displacement of the robot’s po...
