UMI handwriting traced by DK1 in sim: using writing as a qualitative accuracy check
DominiqueCAPaul · x · 2026-09-07
The author demonstrates UMI handwriting trajectories traced by the DK1 in simulation, an idea borrowed from HiFi-UMI: having a robot follow handwriting to qualitatively judge calibration and tracking accuracy, with a 20x3cm demo writing area.
Sub-mm motion capture could serve the same purpose, and the author is soliciting calibration and validation ideas. A clever, low-cost way to assess manipulator precision.
