Device positioning using sensors

A method for positioning a mobile device relative to a stationary device in a semiconductor manufacturing environment, comprising:

• detecting, in an image, a target affixed to the stationary device at a target location, wherein the target location corresponds to a location of the target relative to a reference point on the stationary device;
• determining a first position coordinate offset value based upon a location of the target in the image relative to a specified position within the image;
• and
• moving the mobile device, using the first position coordinate offset value, relative to the stationary device to train the mobile device to move relative to the stationary device for performing a semiconductor manufacturing operation.

A system for positioning a mobile device relative to a stationary device in a semiconductor manufacturing environment, comprising:

• a sensor affixed to the mobile device, wherein the sensor generates an image comprising a target sensed by the sensor when the target is in a field of view of the sensor, wherein the target is affixed to the stationary device at a target location;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• calculate a first position coordinate offset value and a second position coordinate offset value based upon a location of the target in the image relative to a specified position within the image;
• move the mobile device from a first mobile device position to a second mobile device position based upon the first position coordinate offset value and the second position coordinate offset value;
• and
• save the second mobile device position to train the mobile device to move relative to the stationary device.
