  • Publication number: 20220410379
    Abstract: A robot control device configured to control operation of a robot configured to transfer a substrate while holding the substrate. The robot includes a robotic arm having at least one joint axis, and an end effector provided to a tip end of the robotic arm and configured to hold the substrate. A position and a posture of the end effector are defined by values of N variables. A value of at least one of the N variables that define a holding position and a holding posture of the end effector for holding the substrate placed on the installation position by the end effector is independent from a value of the corresponding variable among the N variables that define a withdrawn position and a withdrawn posture of the end effector after retreating the end effector in the holding position and the holding posture from the installation position.
