Abstract
A robot system includes a robot; a peripheral device disposed around the robot; a control unit configured to operate at least the robot based on a program; a suspension unit configured to suspend a plurality of sequential operations performed by the robot in conjunction with the peripheral device based on an operation program if an irregular state occurs in the peripheral device; and a simulator. The simulator is configured to generate a recovery program based at least on a robot state information of the robot at the time of suspending the operation due to an occurrence of the irregular state, in which the control unit is further configured to cause the robot to operate with respect to the peripheral device based on the recovery program so that an operation by the suspended operation program becomes resumable.
