Abstract
A method for teaching an industrial robot to pick parts includes the steps of: placing a reference part on a picking surface; providing a reference image including information about the reference part; placing a gripping tool of the industrial robot in relation to the reference part so that the gripping tool is in a grasp configuration in relation to the reference part; and storing the grasp configuration. The reference image is a 2D image from below. When the reference part is resting on a known plane a 2D image taken from below is enough for defining the position of the same.
