  • Publication number: 20230219219
    Abstract: A robot controller includes a storage unit that stores load information including a mass and a center of gravity position of a load to be attached to a robot; a lead-through control unit that controls the robot comprising a sensor that detects an external force, based on the external force detected by the sensor and the load information stored in the storage unit; and a load suitability determining unit that determines whether or not the load information stored in the storage unit is suitable. In response to the load suitability determining unit determining that the load information has a possibility of being unsuitable, the lead-through control unit performs a restriction on a movement of the robot.
