ABSTRACT:
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a method of performing calibration of an optical axis of a sensor installed on a hand of an arm of a robot by obtaining misalignment of the optical axis of the sensor relative to the hand or by obtaining misalignment of the hand relative to the arm is provided. A method of performing calibration by detecting a teaching tool11disposed at a semiconductor wafer placing position of a storage container or a carrying device by a sensor6installed on a hand5of a robot1to teach the position of the semiconductor wafer to the robot1includes a step of placing the teaching tool11at specified position with the robot1, a step of predicting the position of the teaching tool11detecting the teaching tool11with the sensor6, and a step of obtaining a difference between the position of the teaching tool11and the predicted value.
