Abstract
A robot teaching position method for easily modifying an original position of one of a plurality of taught points arranged on a straight line to a modified position moved a distance along the straight line from the original position. An operator selects one of the plurality of taught points, inputs a distance of movement along the straight line from the one taught point to the modified point, and selects two arbitrary taught points arranged on the straight line, using a display device attached to a manual data input device attached to a robot controller. The modified position is determined based on the inputted first taught point, the distance, and the second and third taught points. A robot performs an operation based on the modified position.
