Abstract
A robot apparatus which does not need an expensive connecting cable for connecting a robot to a controller. Since the controller is separately composed of a control unit (12), an operation box (13) and a teaching pendant (14), the size of the control unit (12) except an operation system can be reduced, the control unit (12) can be installed in a small dead space within a safety fence which cannot be intrinsically used and directly coupled with the robot (11) without using a connecting cable therebetween. The operation box (13) and the teaching pendant (14) as the operation system are installed outside of the safety fence (15).
