Abstract
A method of controlling a robot system includes the steps of providing a tool supported by a moveable mechanism of the robot system, providing a workpiece supported by a holder, generating an image of the workpiece, extracting a data from the image, the data relating to a feature of the workpiece, generating a continuous three-dimensional path along the workpiece using data extracted from the image, and moving the tool along the path.
