Abstract
A pair of second cameras mounted on a robot are located in front of, and symmetrically with respect to the center of a wheel hub of a vehicle, according to approximate coordinates of the center of the wheel hub calculated from an image of the wheel hub taken by a first camera. Revised coordinates of the center of the wheel hub, a rotational displacement from a standard rotational position of the wheel hub, and a turning angle of the wheel hub toward the right or left with respect to a progressive direction of the vehicle are calculated from the images obtained by the second cameras. A wheel is then automatically mounted to the wheel hub by the robot, according to the results of calculation.
