In the calibration step, the hand is moved to the hand position identified in the teaching step, and a transported object for teaching placed in the predetermined position is mounted and taken out onto the hand. Thereafter, the hand is moved again to the hand position identified in the teaching step and the transported object for teaching is placed on the placing section. Afterward, the position of the transported object for teaching is detected by second sensors attached to the hand and the hand position is corrected based on the detection result by the second sensors.
