Measuring Repeatability of Robotic Arm with Dial Indicator

In this video we demonstrate the repeatability measurement of the Revel Robotic Arm using a dial indicator.

First the robot's movement is trained using a 3-axis joystick and our opensource Kinesthetic Teaching software.

The trajectory is then played back many times and the value of the dial indicator recorded. Using these measurements, we determine the repeatability by looking at the spread between measurements.

Finally we demonstrate fine tuned control with our custom 3-axis joystick to move the robot through cartesian space in 0.01 inch increments.
