  • Patent number: 11897135
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention prevents a robot from being subjected to an excessive load even when operated by an inexperienced user. Provided is a human-cooperative robot system including a robot and a control device that controls the robot. The robot is provided with a sensor that detect an external force applied to the robot. The control device stops the operation of the robot when the detected external force is equal to or greater than a first threshold, and issues a warning when the detected external force is equal to or greater than a second threshold exceeding the first threshold.

  • Patent number: 11511430
    Abstract: This robot controller causes a robot to follow a target, while a transfer device moves the target, by using a detection result obtained by a movement-amount detecting device that detects the amount by which the transfer device moves the target. When the value of any one of the speed, the acceleration, and the jerk of the target calculated based on the detection result obtained by the movement-amount detecting device or the pattern of the speed, the acceleration, and the jerk deviates from the predetermined reference, the robot controller performs predetermined reporting or stops the robot.
