Abstract
A camera is located at a position deviated from directly above a center of a placement location of a workpiece. When a photographed image is generated by photographing, with the camera, the placement location at which the workpiece is placed, an image processing device specifies, by using a preliminarily determined conversion parameter, to which pixels in the photographed image two-dimensional coordinates within a photographed three-dimensional space correspond, aligns the specified pixels corresponding to the respective coordinates in a two-dimensional manner, and generates a corrected photographed image in which a trapezoidal distortion in the photographed image is corrected. A robot control device detects a position of the workpiece at the placement location based on the corrected photographed image, and controls a workpiece retention robot so as to retain the workpiece and transport the workpiece to a processing machine.
