Abstract

The present disclosure provides a positioning foot, a positioning device and a method for correcting position of a glass substrate, and belongs to the technical field of automatic positioning. The positioning foot of the present disclosure comprises: a contact member for contacting a side of the glass substrate; an elastic member, a first end of which is connected with the contact member and receives a counterforce from the glass substrate delivered by the contact member so as to compress the elastic member, and a second end of which is fixed; and a sensor fixed on the second end of the elastic member. Wherein, the contact member is arranged to be displaced with a compression action of the elastic member, and after the contact member is displaced to a predetermined position, the sensor is triggered to be in an “ON” state such that the elastic member stops the compression action.
