Abstract
A laser tracker measuring six degrees of freedom changes what can be asked of an industrial robot, because the robot's own joint feedback is no longer the only account of where the tool is. Kleinkes and Loser set out the measurement strategies this opens up in industrial robot applications, and what each one costs in setup, line of sight and cycle time.
