Abstract
A robot system comprising a main computer having a robot language incorporated therein and having the functions of preparing, executing and storing programs and a plurality of slave computers connected via a high speed data bus to the main computer. Task programs are prepared by using the robot language and then executed on the main computer. The task programs inherent to the respective functions, such as trajectory control for the manipulator, vision control and feature extraction of objects are executed in each of the slave computers by commands issued from the main computer to the respective slave computers for each operational unit.
