Abstract
According to one embodiment, a processing system teaches an operation to a robot. The robot includes a detector including detection elements arranged along first and second directions, and a manipulator to which the detector is mounted. The processing system performs position teaching processing. The position teaching processing includes causing the detector to perform a probe of a weld portion of a joined body. The probe includes a transmission of an ultrasonic wave and a detection of a reflected wave. The position teaching processing includes calculating a center position of the weld portion in a first plane based on first intensity data of an intensity of the reflected wave, setting a teaching point of the robot based on a first position of the detector, and moving the detector along the first plane to a second position, and setting the teaching point based on the second position.
