<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an apparatus for the calibration of a robot which can perform calibration between a work object and a robot at the substantially same accuracy as the positioning accuracy of the robot and also improve the efficiency of a calibration operation, and to obtain a calibration method. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus for the calibration of a robot which performs calibration between the robot and the work object 20 includes: a force sensor 14 for determining contact between a robot hand 15 and the work object 20; a position acquiring unit for acquiring a positional posture of the robot when the robot hand 15 and the work object 20 come into contact with each other; a posture calculating unit for calculating a posture of the work object 20 by a robot coordinate system based on a plurality of positional postures of the robot which is acquired by the position acquiring unit; a driving unit for moving the robot to the posture of the work object 20 which is calculated by the posture calculating unit; and a position calculating unit for calculating a position of the work object 20 based on the plurality of positional postures of the robot which is moved by the driving unit. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
