Abstract: A method for modeling a working environment of a robot comprising providing a robot having a base, a reference point, a plurality of links by which the reference point is movably connected to the base, and sensors for detecting positions of or angles between the links, providing a controller adapted to associate a position of the reference point to detected positions or angles between of the links, installing the base in a working environment which is delimited by at least one surface, moving the reference point to at least one sample point of the at least one surface, determining the position of the sample point from positions of or angles between the links detected while the reference point is at the sample point, and inferring the position of the surface from the determined position.

Abstract: A method for implementing a safety configuration for a manipulator comprising an end effector comprises: a) reading an action instruction from a manipulator control program, the instruction defining at least one of a path to be followed by the end effector, a target position to be reached by the end effector, a target pose to be assumed by the end effector and an action to be carried out by a tool wielded by the end effector; b) reading at least one constraint instruction from the manipulator control program, the constraint instruction defining a constraint to be observed while carrying out an action instruction; and c) carrying out the action instruction read in step a) while respecting the constraint defined in the at least one constraint instruction, or transferring the manipulator into a safety mode if violation of the at least one constraint is detected while carrying out the action instruction.
