Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a robot having multi-articulation-type arms with a high accuracy. Work point data and work point instructions for the robot are stored in a main storage section, while data representing the present position of an operating end of the arm of the robot is stored in a present point storage section. Reference position data is stored in a reference point storage section. A central processing unit produces a signal for instructing the robot to effect predetermined operations on the basis of the work point data, the work procedure instructions, the present position data, and the reference point data. A correction section determines a deviation of the operating end of the robot from positional data corresponding to the present position and corrects the stored positional data on the basis of the determined deviation.
