A method for monitoring a payload-handling robot assembly having at least one robot includes identifying a robot-handled payload arrangement on the basis of a current position of the robot assembly relative to a specified change position of the robot assembly. In another aspect, a robot assembly includes at least one robot, a monitoring apparatus configured to determine a current position of the robot assembly and to identify a robot-handled payload arrangement on the basis of the current position of the robot assembly relative to a specified change position of the robot assembly, and a payload receptacle for receiving a plurality of different payloads. The robot is configured for handling the plurality of payloads in an alternating manner.
A method for monitoring a payload-handling robot assembly with at least one robot, comprising identifying a robot-handled payload arrangement on the basis of a current position of the robot assembly relative to a specified change position of the robot assembly.
An apparatus for monitoring a payload-handling robot assembly that includes at least one robot, the apparatus comprising monitoring means configured to determine a current position of the robot assembly and to identify a robot-handled payload arrangement on the basis of the current position of the robot assembly relative to a specified change position of the robot assembly.
A robot assembly, comprising:
A computer program product for monitoring a payload-handling robot assembly including at least one robot, the computer program product having programming code stored on a non-transitory machine readable data medium, the programming code configured to, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
