Abstract
An advance indication part performs an advance indication of operation of a robot by using a movable part in correspondence to an operation program or a command supplied to the robot. When the advance indication part performs the advance indication, a user detection part detects a user in a predetermined area of movement of the movable part based on a picture image taken by a camera. When the user detection part detects the user, a recognition check part checks whether the detected user has recognized the advance indication of the advance indication part. When the recognition check part determines that the detected user has not recognized the advance indication yet, a recognition promotion part promotes the detected user to recognize the advance indication or an operation of the robot.
