Abstract
The present invention allows a user to make trigger settings without editing a robot program and to automatically issue a trigger at optimum timing among the settings. A processor determines, based on timing at which a hand moves out of a capture range of a sensor on a path, timing of issuing a trigger that causes the sensor to capture the next image to dynamically change capture timing of the sensor for each cycle of a picking motion.
