Autonomous or Manual Working Device and Method for at least Partially Automatically Operating an Object

Abstract

An autonomous or manual work device, in particular a robot, having a machining unit, in particular a drilling unit, having a locomotion unit for moving the machining unit, and having a control unit at least for controlling the machining unit. The work device includes an inclinometer and a distance measuring instrument arranged on the machining unit. The control unit is designed so as to determine a position and an orientation of at least a part of the machining unit in a work environment model as a function of measured variables determined by way of the inclinometer and the distance measuring instrument.
