Abstract

The disclosed method involves teaching a robot by moving a robot member and sampling its position at predetermined times. Only position data changed more than a predetermined difference from the last stored position data are recorded as instruction data and the instruction data are played back as position data at predetermined times independent of the time required to move the robot member in the teaching steps.
