Abstract

A robot system, and method for controlling it, for collaborative robot applications has a movable robot arm and a controller, wherein the controller is provided to control the movement of the distal end of the robot arm along a movement path according to at least a sequence of coordinate data and respective commands of a robot program and wherein the controller is provided to determine exact movement speed and course of the movement path between consecutive coordinates according to a set of parameters. At least two alternatively selectable sets of parameters are provided which both are related to a respective individual comfort level of a respective collaborative human worker.
