First Claim
Patent Images
1. A robot system comprising:
- a robot that is movable according to an external force applied thereto by a worker;
a force detecting unit that is provided in the robot and that detects the magnitude of an external force acting on the robot;
a warning part that vibrates the robot when an external force having a magnitude equal to or greater than a first predetermined threshold is detected by the force detecting unit; and
a stop part that stops the robot when an external force having a magnitude equal to or greater than a second predetermined threshold that is greater than the first predetermined threshold is detected by the force detecting unit.

4. A robot system comprising:
-
a robot that is movable according to an external force applied thereto by a worker; a force detecting unit that is provided in the robot and that detects the magnitude and the direction of an external force acting on the robot; a warning part that issues a warning when an external force having a magnitude equal to or greater than a first predetermined threshold is detected by the force detecting unit; and a stop part that stops the robot when an external force having a magnitude equal to or greater than a second predetermined threshold that is greater than the first predetermined threshold is detected by the force detecting unit, wherein the warning part issues a different warning depending on the direction of the external force detected by the force detecting unit.
