A programmable robot 1 is disclosed. The robot is configurable between a measuring configuration, in which a probe 103 is operable, and a machining configuration, in which a tool 105 is operable. The robot comprises: a carrier 3 for carrying the probe and the tool; a position sensing arrangement 5 for determining coordinate data; and a controller 7. The controller is configured to cause the carrier, in the measuring configuration, to move the probe to each of a plurality of reference features 107 in a template 109 held in a first orientation by a jig 111, wherein feedback via the probe enables the position sensing arrangement to determine coordinate data associated with the reference features. The controller is configured to, on the basis of the determined data, cause the carrier, in the machining configuration, to return to each position corresponding to each reference feature location and machine a workpiece held in the first orientation.
