Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a robot controller that does not require manual correction when an applying process operation is interrupted due to occurrence of an error, and that enables automatic avoidance of occurrence of an interrupted part (gap) of the applying process and occurrence of excessive processing upon resuming the applying process operation. When an applying operation is interrupted, if the operation has stopped after further advancement of the operation site from the position of interruption, the operation site is moved back by a predetermined distance along the curved trajectory at the time of an advancing movement prior to the stopping, and the advancing movement is resumed from the moved-back position along the curved trajectory. Thus, it is possible to resume the continuous process while the operation site, at the position where the continuous process operation has been interrupted, proceeds at the same speed as when the applying operation was interrupted.
