The invention provides a device for gripping and displacing material, provided with a gripper, comprising control means (52) for the gripper and a sensor for forming an image of an observation area, which sensor is connected to the control means (52), wherein the sensor comprises a source of radiation (36) for modulated electromagnetic radiation (37), a receiver device (50) for radiation (46) reflected by an object (44), comprising a matrix of receivers (50-1, 50-2, 50-3), an optical device (48) for displaying the reflected radiation (46) on the receiver device, and sensor image processing means (52) in order to determine for each receiver (50-1, 50-2, 50-3) a phase difference between the electromagnetic radiation emitted (37) and the electromagnetic radiation reflected (46) in order to calculate a distance from the receiver to the object (44). A device equipped with such a sensor is capable of functioning in a very reliable, safe and multifunctional manner, because it is capable of processing spatial images during operation. The invention also provides an assembly of the device and a feeding place, in particular of a milking robot and a milking robot feeding place. |
