Abstract: The invention relates to a method of drilling ground along a drilling direction, the method comprising: providing at least first and second drill tubes (40, 42); providing an articulated and motorized manipulator arm (12) having a gripper member (30); using the gripper member (30) to take hold of the first drill tube (40); moving the gripper member in the drilling direction so as to drive the first drill tube into the ground, the gripper member releasing the first drill tube; then taking hold of the second drill tube and fastening the second drill tube to the first drill tube; and moving the gripper member so as to drive the first and second drill tubes into the ground.

Abstract: A device for training a robot adapted to carry out automated tasks in order to accomplish various functions, in particular at least one of processing, mounting, packaging or maintaining tasks, using a specific tool on a part. The device includes a way for displaying the part as a 3D virtual model and for controlled movement of the specific tool of the robot. At least one virtual guide is associated with the 3D model of the part, defining a space arranged for delimiting an approach path of the tool to a predetermined operation area of the 3D model of the part. The predetermined operation area is associated with the virtual guide. The device stores, in a computer, spacial coordinates of the tool with respect to a given coordinate system in which the 3D model of the part is positioned when the tool is effectively located in the predetermined operation area.
