ABSTRACT

A computer-implemented method for ascertaining a control signal of a robot.
The method includes: obtaining a position and movement direction of an object;
ascertaining a first set of reachable positions of the object with respect to
at least one physical model of the movement of the object and a set of time
points, wherein the reachable positions of the first set are characterized by
a set of first circles which are each assigned to a time point; ascertaining a
trajectory of the robot, which is characterized by positions of the robot at
time points, wherein each position is characterized by at least one second
circle, which corresponds to the time point of the position; ascertaining the
control signal depending on whether at a given time point the second circle
corresponding to the time point intersects with the first circle corresponding
to the time point or touches the first circle.
