Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:
(a) associating a second marker with the object, the second marker comprising a second area and a surface having two parallel edges and a third edge disposed perpendicularly to said two parallel edges of said second marker, said two parallel edges of said second marker are disposed about a second central axis, wherein said second area is greater than said first area and said second marker is disposed in a position and orientation such that said first central axis, said second central axis and the plane in which an axis of the object is disposed, are disposed in a plane and said second marker is disposed at a distance greater than said first marker from the distance sensor;
(b) replacing said establishing step with establishing a second two-dimensional grid of distance measurements covering an area larger than said second area including said second area using the distance sensor; and
(c) determining at least one second corner corresponding to an intersection formed of said third edge and one of said two parallel edges of said second marker from said second two-dimensional grid of distance measurements and confirming the location of the plane in which an axis of the object is disposed, based on a location of said at least one second corner.
