ABSTRACT

A system for performing interactions within a physical environment, the system
including: a robot having a robot base that undergoes movement relative to the
environment and a robot arm mounted to the robot base, the robot arm including
an end effector mounted thereon; a communications system including a fieldbus
network; a tracking system including a tracking base positioned in the
environment and connected to the fieldbus network, and a tracking target
mounted to a component of the robot, wherein the tracking base is configured
to detect the tracking target to allow a position and/or orientation of the
tracking target relative to the tracking base to be determined; and a control
system that communicates with the tracking system via the fieldbus network to
determine the relative position and/or orientation of the tracking target and
controls the robot arm in accordance with the relative position and/or
orientation of the tracking target.
