Abstract: A method and a mobile servo-operated robot system (VH, RA, LB, PL) for repair painting of motorcars utilize an associated computer system (LD) for the guiding of painting tools in accordance with preprogrammed operational data which are stored in one or more data bases. Topical data (AD) describing the repair painting to be performed, e.g. type of car, year model, colour code and painting area, are supplied to the associated computer system (LD), which then is actuated to search for corresponding operational data in its own data base (DB1) and/or possibly other, remotely connected data bases (DB2). The preprogrammed operational data provided in this way are then selected for the required control of the robot system (VH, RA, LB, PL) when performing the intended painting operation. The computer system (LD) is suitably connected to means (DR) for modifying program editing of the selected operational data in accordance with special prevailing conditions. A graphic screen for displaying the painting area together with the painting program may be used for this purpose.
