Hello 

We have designed a transputer based controller for a small SCARA robot
and developed some pid control routines to control robot position.
Now what we are interested in doing is, measurement of the robot
end effector position in the laboratory. If we can measure the actual
position of the end effector at say one point and command the robot
to move through a specified distance, and repeat the measurement, then
we can check the actual position accuracy of the robot.

Any suggestions for a method which can be implemented in a lab are
wellcome.

Thanks.
