Purpose This paper aims to propose a novel model and calibration method to improve the absolute positioning accuracy of a robotic drilling system with secondary encoders and additional axis. Design/methodology/approach The enhanced rigid-flexible coupling model is developed by considering both...

Purpose Institutional work mainly focused on the purposive action of rational actors. However, the evolution of institution is not only affected by deliberate actions but also by emergent strategic patterns. Through a qualitative study of emergent aggression strategy in a Chinese leading private...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a unified approach to uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for camera calibration. Design/methodology/approach – The approach is based on the fact that camera calibration is a problem of parameter estimation and the parameters of interest are...
