A robot position teaching system and method including a robot controller to control a robot, a visual sensor to measure a three-dimensional position, an image processing device to measure a position by processing and analyzing an image recognized by the visual sensor, and a position teaching unit provided with a grasping portion having a size which can be grasped by a hand of an operator, and an index which can visually be recognized by the visual sensor, and is disposed at a distal end of a rod-type body extending from the grasping portion. The operator turns on a moving switch of the position teaching unit such that the robot controller moves the robot toward a position of the index recognized by a camera. When an approach teaching switch of the position teaching unit is turned on after movement of the robot is stopped, data of a current position of the index recognized by the camera is stored as teaching position data. On the other hand, by turning on an arrival teaching switch, a current position of the robot is stored as the teaching position data.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A robot position teaching system, comprising:a robot controller to control a robot;a visual sensor to measure a three-dimensional position;an image processing device to measure a position by processing and analyzing an image recognized by the visual sensor so as to transmit measurement data to the robot controller;a position teaching unit having a grasping portion graspable by a hand of an operator, and an index visually recognizable by the visual sensor, fixed at a distal end of a rod-type body extending from the grasping portion;said visual sensor being mounted on a hand of the robot to which a position is to be taught;said grasping portion of said position teaching unit having a moving switch, a position teaching unit having a moving switch, a position teaching switch, and push buttons to selectively turn on or off the respective switches, said grasping portion accommodating a control portion to generate a signal corresponding to the selective ON/OFF state of the respective switches, and including a transmitting portion to transmit the signal generated in said control portion;wherein said robot controller is connected to a signal receiving portion to receive the signal from said transmitting portion so that said robot controller moves the robot toward a position of the index measured by the image processing device at a given speed or less when said moving switch is turned on in response to action of one of the push buttons, while said robot controller stores a current position of the robot as teaching position data when said position teaching switch is turned on in response to action of another one of the push buttons.
