Programming device and robot control method

A programming device comprising:

• a program generation unit that generates a program for causing a predetermined operation passing through a plurality of movement destination points to be executed by a robot;
• a robot control unit that causes the predetermined operation to be executed by the robot according to control based on the program;
• an image acquisition unit that acquires a photographed image capturing a reference point that is arranged at a position having a predetermined relative relationship with a position of the movement destination point;
• and
• a movement destination point correction unit that corrects information of the movement destination point included in the program, based on the photographed image and the predetermined relative relationship,
• wherein the program generation unit stores a plurality of movement destination points specified based on information grouping a position of the reference point and the predetermined relative relationship, as candidates for the movement destination point, and
• wherein the program generation unit selects any movement destination point from the candidates for the movement destination point, and generates a program for causing a predetermined operation passing through the movement destination point thus selected to be executed by the robot, during program generation, and
• wherein the robot control unit controls the robot based on corrected information of the movement destination point.
