Abstract: An interface device including at least one robot-tool connection unit at least for mechanically connecting a tool unit to an autonomous or manual work device, in particular a robot. The robot-tool connection unit may be designed to be modularly expandable to arrange different interface functional modules.

Abstract: An autonomous or manual work device, in particular a robot, having a machining unit, in particular a drilling unit, having a locomotion unit for moving the machining unit, and having a control unit at least for controlling the machining unit. The work device includes an inclinometer and a distance measuring instrument arranged on the machining unit. The control unit is designed so as to determine a position and an orientation of at least a part of the machining unit in a work environment model as a function of measured variables determined by way of the inclinometer and the distance measuring instrument.

Abstract: An autonomous or manual work device, in particular a robot, has a machining unit, in particular a drilling unit, with a locomotion unit for moving the machining unit and has a control unit at least for controlling the machining unit. The work device may feature a detection unit arranged on the locomotion unit for detecting at least one localization reference element. The control unit may be provided for determining a position and an orientation of at least part of the machining unit at least as a function of the localization reference element detected by way of the detection unit.
