Abstract
A method for determining the position of at least one object present within a working range of a robot by an evaluation system, wherein an image of at least one part of the working range of the robot is generated by a camera mounted on a robot. The image is generated during a motion of the camera and image data are fed to the evaluation system in real time, together with further data, from which the position and/or orientation of the camera when generating the image can be derived. The data are used for determining the position of the at least one object.
