PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for tracking mobile reference points using a robotic-mounted monument system, and particularly a method for aligning an arbitrary number of measurement systems to a reference coordinate system in consideration of safety of workers.SOLUTION: A monument system 312 for use with an arbitrary number of measurement systems 302 in a flexible manufacturing environment comprises an arbitrary number of monuments, an arbitrary number of robotic vehicles, and a main controller 329. Each measurement system of the arbitrary number of measurement systems is configured to generate an arbitrary number of position measurements for the arbitrary number of monuments for use in aligning the arbitrary number of measurement systems to the reference coordinate system. One of the arbitrary number of monuments is selected from one of a sensor device, a plurality of sensor devices, a target, and a rigid structure. The arbitrary number of robotic vehicles are configured to move into an environment. |
