Abstract
A device includes an optical sensing unit configured to sense an object so as to obtain a picture of the object. The device includes a drive unit configured to drive and to move the device. The device includes an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the picture in terms of an at least two-dimensional pattern and to evaluate the pattern in terms of at least a first marking area and a second marking area. The evaluation unit is configured to obtain a marking result by comparing the first marking area and the second marking area, and to determine, on the basis of the marking result, relative localization of the device with regard to the object. The device includes a control unit configured to control the drive unit on the basis of the relative localization.
