Research of Calibration Method for Industrial Robot Based on Error Model of Position

Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This work presents a calibration method for improving accuracy of robots. The math development is applied to obtain error identification equation and a set of experiments is presented to assess the proposed method.
However the paper lacks of systematic review of the literature. The proposed method lacks a clear strategy to deal with uncertainty and noise. A comparative study with other techniques is also required. Why are not considered soft-computing/machine learning methods for compensation and calibration? See for example:

Reviewer 2 Report
First, I would like to congratulate the Author for a very interesting article.
Comments:
- More references. Some important references from this research area were omitted.
- In the paper is not any information about software. The experiments are used to independent two systems: an ABB robot and laser tracer. How data from the laser system are transfer during the calibration process into the robot system?
- If possible, it would be very interesting to compare the results of the proposed solution with others known from the literature.

Reviewer 3 Report
Theoretical part of the manuscript can be simplified and demonstrated more concisely. Demonstration of the results can be improved by adding a couple more plots.
