Precise determination of an object's position within a reference system, e.g. for picking up an object with a robot arm, by measurement of the distance between the object and fixed reference points

摘要

Procedure in which the object (1) whose position is to be determined is determined by measurement of the distances between the object (1) or points close to it (2n-2) and reference points (31,32,33). An Independent claim is made for a device for determination of the distances has three measurement sensors (41,42,43) for measuring the distances between object and reference points.
