[ I claim:] [1.] An apparatus for determining the position of at least one member comprising:a computer containing information related to a math data base of an object to be worked or positioned by the member;a sensor which senses a separate position of the member;a sensor positioning means positionable in multiple degrees of freedom for positioning said sensor with respect to the data base of the object and separate from said member such that the separate position of the member is sensed by the sensor; andan analysis means for determining, from the position of said sensor with respect to the data base and from the sensed position of the member by said sensor, a position of the member with respect to the data base.
