Sixi Calibration Tool
The Sixi Calibration Tool helps anyone using a Sixi robot make sure that the robot’s mental and physical states match.
They have to match or else.
If they do not match then the move you expect is not the move you will get. This could very quickly lead to an accident.
Ok, what do we do about it?
There has to be a way to synchronize the mental model and the physical model. The calibration tool is made to fit in one place and attach to the arm in only one way. This forces all the robot joints to move to known angles. Those angles are measured in the mental model in Robot Overlord and then copied to the physical model in the robot’s brain.
Sixi robot joint angles at calibration
| Joint | Angle (degrees) |
| 0 (x) | 0.0 |
| 1 (y) | -41.3 |
| 2 (z) | 74.5 |
| 3 (u) | 0.0 |
| 4 (v) | -33.5 |
| 5 (w) | 0.0 |
