To provide an image generating device for studying arrangements of a robot.SOLUTION: An image generating device 3 is provided with: an image generating part 36 that generates a display image of a three-dimensional model of a virtual robot using a relative positional relation between a reference marker 6 and a display device 4; an output part 37 that outputs the display image to the display device 4; a registering part 34 that registers a position and an attitude of an end effector of the virtual robot in response to reception of a registration instruction; and a robot positional relation obtaining part 35 that obtains a new positional relation between the reference marker 6 and the virtual robot in response to reception of a movement instruction. The image generating part 36 generates a display image of a three-dimensional model of the virtual robot in which the end effector is in a registered position and in a registered attitude, which is arranged to have the new positional relation with the reference marker 6, in response to the movement instruction. Such configuration enables a position at which the virtual robot is arranged to be studied, in a state in which the position and the attitude of the end effector are fixed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ロボットの配置検討を行うための画像生成装置を提供する。【解決手段】画像生成装置３は、基準マーカ６と表示装置４の相対的な位置関係を用いて仮想ロボットの３次元モデルの表示画像を生成する画像生成部３６と、表示画像を表示装置４に出力する出力部３７と、登録指示の受け付けに応じて仮想ロボットのエンドエフェクタの位置及び姿勢を登録する登録部３４と、移動指示の受け付けに応じて基準マーカ６と仮想ロボットの新たな位置関係を取得するロボット位置関係取得部３５とを備え、画像生成部３６は、移動指示に応じて、基準マーカ６と新たな位置関係となるように配置された、エンドエフェクタが登録された位置及び姿勢である仮想ロボットの３次元モデルの表示画像を生成する。このような構成により、エンドエフェクタの位置及び姿勢を固定した状態で、仮想ロボットの配置位置を検討することができる。【選択図】図１
