Moving Along A Predetermined Path With A Robot

A method for moving along a predetermined path with a robot in an at least a partially automated manner includes determining a deployment position on a current path section of the predetermined path for which a distance parameter satisfies a predetermined condition, and moving to the deployment position with the robot. In one aspect, the robot may be moved to the deployment position if a deployment condition is satisfied. The distance parameter may be determined on the basis of a distance of a current position of the robot relative to the current path section. The predetermined condition may be that the distance parameter has a value that is less than or equal to the values of the distance parameter of all positions in a partial area of the current path section, which is in particular complementary to the deployment position.
