Date Jan. 15, 1987.A system for monitoring the geometry of a mechanical structure comprising a plurality of interconnected rigid elements by means of an optical skeleton (A, B, C) constituted by a light beam (24) running along the elements (10, 12, 14) of the structure, together with photodetector means (28, 32, 36, 40, 42, 46) which are associated with the elements of the structure and towards which fractions of the light beam (24) are directed. The invention is applicable to moving structures such as robots or manipulator arms, as well as to fixed structures. |
