A method for machining a workpiece by a numerical control (NC) machine constructs a model of a scene from one or multiple images including at least a part of the workpiece and a part of the NC machine and registers a model of the NC machine with the model of the scene to produce a first transformation between a coordinate system of the model of the scene and a coordinate system of the NC machine. The method also detects the workpiece in the model of the scene to produce a second transformation between the coordinate system of the model of the scene and a coordinate system of the workpiece and combines the first and the second transformations to register the coordinate system of the workpiece with the coordinate system of the NC machine. The registered workpiece is machined with a tool of the NC machine.

Example systems and methods are disclosed for determining work offset data for a robot in a work environment. A robot operating in a work environment may receive an indication to determine a work offset. The work offset may describe the location and angular orientation of a working plane of the work environment relative to a base plane of the robot. In response to the indication, the robot may identify the working plane. The robot may be controlled to contact one or more points of the working plane. The robot may determine respective point locations of the contacted points relative to the base plane based on the respective positions of the robot at respective times of contact. The robot may determine the location and angular orientation of the working plane relative to the base plane based on the determined respective point locations of the contacted points.
