The holder includes a first holding arm for mechanically connecting the handheld robot operation unit to a first edge section of the device, with an opposite edge section of the device being free. A second holding arm is configured to mechanically connect the handheld robot operation unit to a second edge section of the device, adjacent the first edge section and forming a corner section of the device, with an edge section of the device opposite the second edge section being free. A corresponding method is disclosed.
