Abstract
Methods for managing a robot arm are disclosed. In one method, during a movement of the robot arm in an axis thereof, a signal collected by a sensor equipped at a frame of the robot arm is received. A change in strength of the received signal is detected, where the change is caused by an offset between a position of a reference mark equipped at the robot arm and a position of the sensor. An original point of the axis of the robot arm is determined based on the detected change. Further, robot systems, apparatuses, systems, and computer readable media for managing a robot arm in the robot systems are disclosed. The original point of the axis of the robot arm may be determined without a dedicated calibrating tool, and then the robot arm may be calibrated based on the original point accurately.
