Abstract

A calibration method, in a robot having a robot arm, of obtaining a position relationship between a first control point set for an end effector attached to a distal end of the robot arm and a second control point set on the distal end of the robot arm, includes a sixth step of calculating a second position relationship between a second reference position obtained from a position of the second control point in a third state and a position of the second control point in a fourth state and a first feature point in the fourth state, and a seventh step of calculating coordinates of the first feature point in a robot coordinate system based on a first position relationship and the second position relationship.
