Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for modifying an environment (E) in which a system (1) is located, the method being characterised in that it comprises the implementation, by data processing means (5), of the following steps: (a) obtaining an initial representation (Ri) of at least one portion (P) of the environment (E) on the basis of data acquired by a detector (9); (b) comparing the initial representation (Ri) with an expected representation (Ra) of the portion (P) of said environment (E); (c) determining, depending on the result of the comparison, a trajectory of a robot (10) for moving a tool (3) in the portion (P) of the environment (E) in order to modify the environment such that a final representation (Rf) of the portion (P) of the environment (E) coincides with the expected representation (Ra); (d) controlling the robot (10) and the tool (3) in a synchronised manner so as to implement the trajectory and modify the environment (E), during the trajectory, by means of the tool (3).
