ABSTRACT:
A system for allowing a robot to be moved and set up quickly to perform a variety of work tasks at different work locations is disclosed. Once roughly positioned at a work location, the robot uses position sensors to establish in its computer memory a set of coordinate axes which match precisely the intersections of the three planes of a reference structure which is in a fixed position relative to the work location. All robot movements required to carry out the work task are made with respect to this set of coordinate axes so that the work task program remains the same independent of the exact position of the robot. A sensor holder and sensor storage bracket which uses the straight line horizontal and vertical movement capability of the robot to permit a programmed pickup and storage of the sensor is disclosed.
