Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: “A basic problem in automatized workpiece proces sing is that when a workpiece is seized bya general-purpose gripping tool, the position of the work-piece relative to the gripping tool may vary. Theposition of a tool for processing the workpiece or of a component that is to be joined to the work-piecemust be controlled precisely, but open loop position control is difficult when a region of the workpiece thatis to be processed is concealed by a tool that is used in the processing, or by a component, if the processingcom prises joining said component to the workpiece.
