Abstract
A method is provided for tracking a hand-guided robot including a control unit and at least one manipulator coupled to an end effector, in which the manipulator includes a plurality of joints and links and the end effector is manually displaceable within an operational volume. In the method, the control unit determines at least one movement information of each joint during and/or after a manual or partially manual displacement of the end effector, and a position and orientation information of the end effector inside the operational volume during and/or after the displacement of the end effector using the determined movement information of each joint and a software-based kinematic and dynamic model of the manipulator stored in a memory of the control unit.
