Precision of the robot’s movement is another measure of performance.
1. Spatial resolution
2. Accuracy
3. Repeatability

Smallest increment of movement into which the robot can divide its work volume.
Spatial resolution depends on two factors
1. Control resolution
2. Mechanical inaccuracies
Number of Increments=2n

1. Control resolution
Total motion range divided by the number of increments.
To obtain the Control resolution of entire robot, component resolutions for each joint would have to be summed vectorically.
The total control resolution would depend on the wrist motions as well as the arm and body moitons.

2. Mechanical inaccuracies
Mechanical inaccuracies in the robot’s links and joint components and its feedback measurement system constitute the other factor that contributes to spatial resolution.
1. Elastic deflection in structural members
2. Gear backlash
3. Stretching of pulley cords
4. Leakage of hydraulic fluids
5. Load handled
6. Speed of arm movement
7. Maintenance
Spatial resolution can be improved by increasing the bit capacity of control memory. 4/5/2013 6:08:32 AM© Copyright Reserved 2013 5
Robot’s ability to position its wrist end at a desired target point within the work volume.
Robot’s accuracy to be one-half of its spatial resolution
Accuracy varies with work volume, worse when target in outer range of its work volume and better when closer to the base.
Accuracy is improved if the motion cycle is restricted to a limited work range

Robot’s ability to position its wrist or an end effector attached to its wrist at a point in space that had previously been taught to the robot.
Repeatability refers to the robot’s ability to return to the programmed point when commanded to do so.
In three dimensional space, Repeatability of manipulator is the radius of the idealized sphere.
