Abstract
A robot system includes a robot, a vision sensor, and a controller. The vision sensor is configured to be detachably attached to the robot. The controller is configured to measure a reference object by using the vision sensor and calibrate a relative relationship between a sensor portion of the vision sensor and an engagement portion of the vision sensor, and teach the robot by referring to the relative relationship and by using the vision sensor, after the vision sensor is attached to the robot.
