Publication number: 20250026588Abstract: A robot control device configured to control operation of a robot configured to transfer a substrate while holding the substrate is provided. The substrate becomes in a first state where an end effector holds the substrate and the substrate is not placed at an installation position, when the end effector positions at a first teaching point above the installation position.
