Abstract
An industrial robot comprises a robot structure having a movable part, driving means for driving said movable part, detection means for detecting substantially a displacement of said movable part and for generating a position detection signal, memory means for memorizing the signal from said detection means and reading out the signal thus memorized, control means for controlling a memorizing operation and reading out operation of said memory means and for controlling said driving means responsive to the signal read out from the memory means, workpiece conveying means for conveying a workpiece through a space in which said movable part of said robot structure moves, allowing working to said workpiece at a predetermined working place, and workpiece detection means disposed near entrance to the working place in a conveying path of said conveying means, and adapted to detect the workpiece conveyed to the working place and thereby to send out a detection signal to said control means, said control means undergoing operation in response to the work detection signal supplied thereto.
