METHOD FOR TEACHING POSITION TO ROBOT.

摘要

A plurality of teaching points which are on a straight line in a space and are to be taught are written in a program. When the position of an arbitrary one out of the points is modified by shifting the teaching point by a certain distance along the straight line, the position after modification can be easily found without consciousness of the coordinate system. The position after the modification is determined as a position vector from the position vector of the point before the modification, the distance of the shift along the straight line, and the position vectors of two other arbitrary points on the straight line. While observing the display attached to a manual input device for the robot controller, the operator inputs manually the position of the teaching points to be modified, the two arbitrary teaching points on the straight line, and the amount of shift required for the modification.
