Abstract

The invention relates to a sensor apparatus for detecting the travel region of an industrial robot, in particular a crane for moving containers, wherein the sensor apparatus comprises at least one first environmental sensor and one second environmental sensor, wherein the first environmental sensor emits transmission light in a plurality of first layers for an environmental detection, and wherein the second environmental sensor emits transmission light in a plurality of second layers for an environmental detection, wherein the environmental sensors are arranged such that the first layers of the transmission light of the first environmental sensor coincide with the second layers of the transmission light of the second environmental sensor in an overlap region of the fields of view of the environmental sensors, or such that the first layers of the transmission light of the first environmental sensor alternate with the second layers of the transmission light of the second environmental sensor in the overlap region of the fields of view of the environmental sensors.
