A motion control apparatus for teaching a robot position includes an operating unit that inputs an operating command to a robot on a camera coordinate system having, as a reference, an image capturing screen displayed on the monitor, a converting unit that generates a motion vector on the camera coordinate system for moving the robot from the current position to the next moving position in accordance with the operating command on the camera coordinate system input from the operating unit and converts the motion vector on the camera coordinate system into a motion vector on a robot coordinate system, an operating-instruction generating unit that generates a motor instructing value to be given to a motor arranged at a joint of the robot 1 based on the motion vector on the robot coordinate system obtained by the converting unit, and a motor control unit that controls the motor arranged at the joint of the robot in accordance with the motor instructing value generated by the operating-instruction generating unit.
