description This study proposes a systematic solution to the motion planning challenges in dual-robot collaborative grinding and polishing systems, with its effectiveness experimentally validated. By establishing a dual-robot pose constraint model, this study innovatively integrates the “handshake” method with the seven-point calibration approach, achieving enhanced spatial mapping accuracy between the base coordinate system and tool coordinate system. Based on the modified Denavit–Hartenberg (DH) method, this study establishes kinematic modeling for EPSON C4-A901S robots on the MATLAB platform. By integrating calibration parameters, a dual-robot collaborative grinding model is constructed, with its reliability thoroughly verified through comprehensive simulations. An experimental platform integrating dual EPSON C4-series robots with grinding devices, clamping fixtures, and drive systems was established. The average error below 8 mm from 10 repeated experiments fully validates the accuracy and practical applicability of the integrated calibration method.
