A hierarchical closed-loop optimization strategy was proposed to solve the problem of cumulative error in robot machining system. A core closed-loop composed of the laser tracker frame, robot base frame and the end tool frame was constructed. An auxiliary closed-loop composed of the laser tracker frame, end tool frame, visual measurement frame and the workpiece was constructed. A correlational closed-loop composed of the laser tracker frame, visual measurement frame and the end tool frame was constructed. Then a neural network model was constructed based on the independent optimization of three closed-loops, and the results of the closed-loops optimization were fused by using a data-driven approach in order to improve the closed-loop optimization stability of the system. Simulation experimental results show that the method can effectively reduce the cumulative error of robot machining system and improve the positioning accuracy of the robot end tool, which is conducive to guide the subsequent prototype experiment and machining application.
