Abstract

The present invention corrects a teaching point set in a robot movement control program to another position using jog-feed buttons. A robot tool is moved by jog-feed buttons using a jog-feed command unit toward a position to which a teaching point is to be corrected. When the position of the tool approaches any teaching point contained in a movement command program, the robot is automatically shifted to the teaching point to be corrected in the movement command program. When the teaching point to be corrected is found, correction of a teaching point from the closest teaching point to the position to be corrected is then performed.
