Abstract
A control system for performing a synchronously cooperative operation among some robots of a plurality of robots connected by a communication line. A plurality of robots No. 1 to No. 4 is operated individually and also is operated in synchronous cooperation. Further, some robots No. 1 and 2 is operated in synchronous cooperation while the other robots Nos. 2 and 4 are operated in synchronous cooperation. The robots Nos. 3 and 4 are operated in synchronous cooperation. The robots No. 1 and 3 is operated in synchronous cooperation while the robots Nos. 2 and 4 are operated individually. The synchronously cooperative operation is performed by any desired combination in that the above robot control part keeps motion procedures denoting changes, which are corresponding to the frame notifications of the passage of time from the above media reproduction part; and moves the above robot according toe the above motion procedures, in the corresponding frame.
