Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for performing an industrial working operation on a workpiece comprises: an anthropomorphous robot comprising an end effector including a 2D laser scanner and a working tool; an RTOS computer; and a robot controller. The computer provides successive positional data along a scanning path to robot controller, and a synchronization signal directly to input port of the 2D laser scanner, thereby commanding successive scanning operations on the workpiece in synchronism with successive poses of the end effector, to acquire 3D shape information about the workpiece. The working tool is operated while the end effector is subsequently moved along a tooling path and/or is moved along a combined scanning and tooling path. An apparatus for acquiring a shape of an object arranged at a working area and methods are further disclosed.
