In a teaching system including a display unit, an image generating unit generates a virtual image of a robot, a workpiece and a positioner for holding the workpiece. A display control unit controls the display unit to display the generated virtual image. Upon receiving an operator's operation of selecting a ridgeline of the workpiece of the virtual image, a work line generating unit extracts individual teaching target points of the ridgeline and generates a work line as a set of line segments each interconnecting the target points adjoining each other. A calculation unit calculates teaching values for positions and postures of the positioner on a point-by-point basis so that a vector direction of the work line at each target point becomes substantially parallel to a horizontal direction. A teaching program generating unit generates a teaching program for operating the positioner based on the calculated teaching values. Most Illustrative Drawing: Fig. 2 |
