Calibrating a Robotiq Wrist Camera in a Confined Space

How to calibrate a Robotiq Wrist Camera in confined environments using a two-step method with full calibration and a new local workplane.

If your workspace is too cramped for proper camera calibration, don’t worry, you can still achieve accurate results. Perform a full calibration in an open area, then relocate the robot to the confined space and define a new workplane and camera position, without repeating the full calibration process.

1. Execute Full Calibration in an Open Space

  • Start by calibrating the camera in an area with sufficient room for movement.

  • Use Full Calibration in the Wrist Camera setup. This establishes the necessary camera-to-workplane mapping. 



Step 2: Re-use Calibration in a Confined Area

  • Move the robot to the restricted workspace.

  • Create a New Work Plane & Position, and define the camera’s Snapshot Position within this environment.

  • Since the full calibration parameters are already applied, you don't need to physically move the robot around the snapshot position again.

  • This setup allows the camera to operate even when direct movement is limited.
