Abstract

A method for operating an industrial robot by means of an operating device, including a step of touching a virtual operating element of a touch display of a graphical user interface. A function associated with the operating element is triggered when the virtual operating element is touched, the movement of the industrial robot being carried out relative to a robot coordinate system and the movement on the touch display being carried out relative to a display coordinate system. In order to be able to simply align the coordinate systems of the operating device and of the industrial robot with each other, the display coordinate system is recalibrated after a relative movement of the operating device with respect to the robot coordinate system.
