1. A robot system comprising:

  • a robot body configured to operate a work;

    a visual sensor; and

    a control apparatus configured to control a position and an orientation of the robot body, and to calculate a position and an orientation of the work using a measured value by the visual sensor, wherein,when a observing of a marker by the visual sensor is performed for a calibration between a robot coordinate system fixed to the robot body and a vision coordinate system fixed to the visual sensor, a calibration value is calculated based on a position of the robot body in the robot coordinate system, and a position of the marker in the vision coordinate system, for at least the three teaching points set within a calibration area, two of the three teaching points are placed on different positions in a same plane normal to an optical axis of the visual sensor, the markers of the two of the three teaching points have the same inclination in relation to the optical axis of the visual sensor, and the marker of one except for the two of the three teaching points has an inclination different from that of the two of the three teaching points.
