Abstract
A robot system includes a robot installed such that the working space thereof is within a first area, an image acquisition unit that sequentially acquires images of the vicinity of a boundary of the first area and a second area that are adjacent to each other with the boundary therebetween, a monitoring-area setting unit that sets a monitoring area in a space adjacent to the boundary in the second area in the images acquired by the image acquisition unit, an object detecting unit that detects a moving object in the monitoring area set by the monitoring-area setting unit by processing the images acquired by the image acquisition unit, and a controller that performs control so as to restrict the operation of the robot when the moving object is detected by the object detecting unit.
