Abstract
A positioning apparatus with a pose measurement function includes a first and second kinematic links, a first measuring link attached to the second kinematic link, a joint connecting the first and second kinematic links, and a sensor capturing a measurement device. Either the measurement device or the sensor is arranged at the first measuring link and is movable jointly with the second kinematic link. The other one is arranged at the first kinematic link and is movable jointly with the first kinematic link. An attachment location of the first measuring link lies closer to an end of the second kinematic link that is remote from the joint than to the joint. The positioning apparatus is configured to ascertain, based on data captured by the sensor, a first relative pose value corresponding to the degree of freedom of the joint and a further relative pose value for another degree of freedom.
