1. A method for an industrial robot to increase the accuracy in the movements of the robot, where a tool ( 2 : 9 ) supported by the robot is brought to adopt a plurality of positions generated by the control system, which are each determined by a measuring system, wherein a deviation between the generated position and the position determined by the measuring system is introduced as correction in the control system for adjusting the movement, characterized in that the generated positions are arranged to form a first path ( 4 : 1 ) and the positions determined by the measuring system are arranged to form a second path ( 4 : 2 ), whereby the correction is determined by a path deviation between geometrically determined positions in the respective path.
