Abstract
A handling device, which is in particular a robot, has a receiving device for receiving different instruments. To this end, the receiving device and the different instruments have mutually compatible connecting elements. In order to ensure error-free connection of the correctly selected instrument to the receiving device, the instruments have changeable indicator devices. The indicator devices are changed with the aid of a control device, for example on the basis of a schedule.
