PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of precisely teaching a measuring attitude to a multi-articulated robot measuring a workpiece by using an optical sensor.;SOLUTION: A teaching tool 24 having a rod part 38 is attached to the multi-articulated robot 10. The multi-articulated robot 10 is operated so that a tip implement 50 provided on the tip of the rod part 38 contacts with a measuring position of the workpiece 26. The measuring attitude in measuring the workpiece 26 with the optical sensor attached is taught to the multi-articulated robot 10 by allowing the multi-articulated robot 10 to store the attitude of the multi-articulated robot 10 during the operation. The rod part 38 of the teaching tool 24 attached to the multi-articulated robot 10 extends along a measuring shaft of the optical sensor attached to the multi-articulated robot 10, and the tip implement 50 is located within the range of measuring distance of the optical sensor attached to the multi-articulated robot 10.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
