Abstract

The invention relates to a six-DoF measurement aid for determining 3D coordinates of a multiplicity of object points to be measured in the form of 3D points of a point cloud in cooperation with a laser tracker, having an environment sensor arrangement and a control module. The control module comprises a platform control assistance functionality, which is configured to instruct the environment sensor arrangement, during the automatically guided movement of the six-DoF measurement aid, in a first mode to generate environmental information for determining an environmental normal, and in a second mode to generate environmental information for detecting anomalies with respect to the environmental normal, and to provide the environmental information generated by the environment sensor arrangement for control assistance of the platform control.
