The invention relates in particular to a robot system having a rail track (30) and a robot (10) adapted to be movably guided by the rail track (30) in a direction of motion. In the present invention, provision is made that the rail track (30) consists of a plurality of rail--track elements (30a to 30c) disposed in said direction of motion and the robot (10) is adapted to manipulate such rail-track elements (30b 30c) and to lengthen the rail track (30) by the attachment of other rail-track elements (30b, 30c) to the last rail-track element of the existing rail track (30). Furthermore, there is provided, according to the invention, a traction member (28), more particularly a traction cable (28), which is attached to the robot (10) and runs along the rail track (30) and, for the purpose of creating a tractive force, a winding device (26) is provided, preferably in the area of one end of said rail track (30), for taking up said traction member (28). The use thereof, particularly for a rail track in an area that is inaccessible or hardly accessible for humans and for recovering a robot mounted thereon in the event of a breakdown thereof.

L'invention concerne notamment un système robotisé comprenant une file de rails (30) et un robot (10) qui est conçu pour pouvoir être déplacé dans une direction de déplacement en étant guidé par la file de rails (30). Selon l'invention, la file de rails (30) se compose d'une pluralité de segments de file de rails (30a à 30c) disposés dans la direction de déplacement et le robot (10) est conçu pour manipuler lesdits segments de file de rails (30b, 30c) et pour allonger la file de rails (30) en posant des segments de file de rails (30b, 30c) supplémentaires contre le dernier segment de file de rails respectif de la file de rails (30) existante. En outre, selon l'invention, un élément de traction (28), notamment un câble de traction (28), qui est installé sur le robot (10), s'étend le long de la file de rails (30) et un dispositif d'enroulement (26) destiné à accueillir l'élément de traction permet d'appliquer une force de traction de préférence dans la zone d'une extrémité de la file de rails (30). L'invention est notamment utilisée pour permettre la pose d'une file de rails dans une zone difficilement ou non accessible aux personnes et pour pouvoir récupérer un robot qui circule sur celle-ci en cas d'avarie.
