Abstract
When an emergency stop button 12 is pressed after a robot 1 passes a teaching point PN, and then reach a position PE, the robot 1 is stopped at a position PS diverted from the predetermined teaching route L. When the start button is pressed next, the robot 1 moves at a speed VL lower than a teaching speed Vt until it reaches a next first teaching point PN+1. Passing first teaching point PN+1, the robot 1 moves at the teaching speed Vt. The robot 1 moves at the low speed VL at a restarting time, so that an operator can check for interference between the robot 1 and the workpiece W. Passing the next first teaching point PN+1, the robot 1 moves at the teaching speed Vt, so that the reduction of the operation efficiency can be prevented.
