Does your robot really know where it is?

Schofield, Monica - In: Industrial Robot: An International Journal 29 (2002) 5, pp. 407-411

Industrial robots are not accurate enough to be used without heavy investment in fixtures and manual programming to correct for positional variations, but this situation could be corrected with the introduction of a new position determination system. PosEye 1 allows fixed and mobile robots to...
