Abstract

A control system including a selective compliance assembly robot arm (SCARA) robot is provided. The SCARA robot includes a first arm configured to be rotatable around a first rotation shaft, a second arm configured to be rotatable around a second rotation shaft arranged parallel to the first rotation shaft and provided on the first arm, and a main shaft configured to be drivable in a direction parallel to the second rotation shaft and provided on the second arm. The control system includes a setting unit providing a user interface for receiving a setting of a two-dimensional operation prohibition region with respect to a point of interest on the SCARA robot. The operation prohibition region corresponds to an area on a plane orthogonal to the main shaft. The control system includes an extension unit two-dimensionally extending the operation prohibition region through an extension in a direction of the main shaft.
