Abstract

La présente invention porte, selon un mode de réalisation, sur un robot qui comprend une base, un bras, une unité d'imagerie et un dispositif de commande. La base est mobile sur une surface de déplacement. Le bras est pourvu d'un effecteur terminal qui réalise un travail sur un objet. L'unité d'imagerie capture une image de l'objet et délivre en sortie des informations visuelles se rapportant à l'objet. Le dispositif de commande comprend un processeur ou une pluralité de processeurs et calcule la position de l'objet par rapport à la base et à une configuration cible du bras sur la base des informations visuelles et commande le déplacement de la base sur la base de la position de l'objet par rapport à la base et à la configuration cible du bras.
