A determination device includes an interface configured to acquire a vibration signal generated when a position of an object is switched, and a controller configured to determine a state of the object using the vibration signal.

A method for calibrating a robot is disclosed. A working space of the robot at least partly overlaps with a working space of a machining and/or production tool. The robot is moved such that a reference point of the robot is at a first position within the working space of the machining and/or production tool. A first position value for the robot at the first position is compared with a first position value for the machining and/or production tool at the position. If the first position value for the robot differs from the first position value for the machining and/or production tool, the first position value for the robot is corrected or the first position value for the machining and/or production tool is corrected such that the first position value for the robot and the first position value for the machining and/or production tool are the same.
