Abstract

See full text

A robot control system has a portable operating device TP and a robot control device RC. The portable operating device TP is actuated by a rechargeable secondary battery and used to operate a robot R. The robot control device RC is capable of wireless communication with the portable operating device TP and performs automatic operation of the robot R based on teaching data provided by the portable operating device TP. The robot control system causes an emergency stop of the robot R when the wireless communication between the portable operating device TP and the robot control device RC is interrupted. The robot control system further includes a charging device CU, a connection monitoring section 12, and an automatic operation continuing section 11. The charging device CU charges the secondary battery by electrically connecting the portable operating device TP to the robot control device RC. The connection monitoring section 12 monitors whether connection between the portable operating device TP and the robot control device RC through the charging means is established. Even if it is detected that the aforementioned connection is not established when the robot R is in automatic operation, the automatic operation continuing section 11 ends wireless communication without causing an emergency stop of the robot R and continues automatic operation of the robot R solely through the robot control system RC.
