Abstract
A visually controlled robot system has a robot driven in three-dimensions to a target position by instructions from a controller.

Claims4
A visually controlled robot system comprising:
- a robot means for moving three-dimensionally,
- means for taking images of the entire moving area of the robot, the means for taking images comprising three video cameras mounted on three mutually perpendicular axis's placed to provide images of the entire moving area of the robot from at least two directions,
- a visible target existing within the moving area of the robot,
- a control circuit having a function to recognize beforehand the moving area of the robot and another function to store in a memory the position of the visible target taken by said means for taking images as well as an ordering signal to move the robot so said position, and
- a drive control means for driving the robot by said ordering signal from the memory of the control circuit.
