Abstract

A method for monitoring a robot arrangement, which robot arrangement has at least one robot includes capturing optical signals from a plurality of signal sources at least one sensor, wherein the signal sources and/or the sensor is/are positioned on the robot arrangement and triggering a monitoring reaction if a deviation of an actual arrangement of the captured optical signals from a desired arrangement of these signals exceeds a limit value. In one aspect, a reaction may be triggered if at least a predefined minimum number of signals from the desired arrangement is not present in the actual arrangement of the captured optical signals.
