6. Accuracy Testing
Move the Manipulator to a different pose (point) to verify whether it moves back to the
original position. If accuracy is inadequate, it is necessary to re-calibrate the origin
using a different pose (point). You must set the pose (point) again if the Manipulator
does not move back to the original position after re-calibration.
