Abstract: A motion control method, a robot controller, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: calculating an inverse Jacobian matrix of a whole-body generalized coordinate vector at a current time relative to an actual task space vector of a humanoid robot; calculating a target generalized coordinate vector corresponding to a to-be-executed task space vector at a current moment by combining an actual task space vector and the to-be-executed task space vector into a null space of the inverse Jacobian matrix according to preset position constraint(s) corresponding to the whole-body generalized coordinate vector; and controlling a motion state of the humanoid robot according to the target generalized coordinate vector. In this manner, the motion of the humanoid robot is optimized as a whole to achieve the purpose of controlling the humanoid robot to avoid the limits of the motion of joints.

Abstract: A robot calibration method, a robot, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining operation space information of the execution end of the robot; obtaining operation space points after gridding an operation space of the robot by gridding the operation space based on the operation space information; obtaining calibration data by controlling the execution end to move to the operation space points meeting a preset requirement; and calibrating the hand and the image detection device of the robot based on the obtained calibration data. In this manner, the operation space points are determined by gridding the operation space based on the operation space information, and the execution end can be automatically controlled to move to the operation space points that meet the preset requirements so as to obtain the calibration data in an automatic and accurate manner, thereby simplifying the calibration process and improving the efficiency.
