Abstract

A process for working a contour on at least one workpiece using a robot includes positioning the workpiece relative to the robot; acquiring an actual position of the workpiece; acquiring a real course of the contour on the workpiece at predefined points using at least one sensor; and actuating the robot according to individual vectors so as to correct a robot motion during the working of the contour.
