The preferred embodiments relate to the field of measuring technology, and can be used to determine in-motion delta robot arm deformation. The method includes the use of a linear encoder, which is mounted on one side of the delta robot arm, and the shaft is attached to the other side of the arm, and the turning shaft is arranged with freedom of movement inside the linear encoder, and the delta robot arm deformation is determined during its motion by displacement of the said shaft inside the encoder relative to its initial position. The use of the invention enables to simplify the process of determining deformations.

Provided is a program generation device capable of automatically generating a route program which takes into account the amount of bending when the tip of a robot abuts against a workpiece. This program generation device is provided with: an acquisition unit that acquires route data indicating a route to be followed by the tip of the robot with respect to an object; a detection unit that detects a pressing force for pressing the tip of the robot to the object; a calculation unit that calculates the amount of misalignment of the followed route caused by bending of the tip of the robot, on the basis of the pressing force detected by the detection unit and a prescribed constant; and a generation unit that automatically generates a route program for controlling a moving route of the tip of the robot, on the basis of the route data acquired by the acquisition unit and the amount of misalignment calculated by the calculation unit.

A method for compensating boom deflection comprising: determining a joint angle set of a boom if an end of the boom were to reach a predetermined target position when viewed as a rigid body, wherein the joint angle set comprises an angle of each joint of the boom; determining an actual position that the joint angle set causes the end to reach; determining the deviation between the actual and predetermined target positions; and when the deviation does not satisfy a predetermined condition, continuing to adjust the joint angle set until the deviation satisfies the predetermined condition. The end of the boom can consequently more accurately reach the predetermined target position. The present invention further relates to a method for controlling a boom, an apparatus for compensating boom deflection, an apparatus for controlling a boom, a construction machine, and a computer-readable storage medium.
