Abstract
A control device includes a stop command unit for stopping an operation of a robot when a person comes in contact with the robot, and a speed limit unit for limiting the operation speed of the robot. A distance determination value relating to an accident caused by sandwiching a person is predetermined. The speed limit unit includes a model generation unit for generating three-dimensional models of two objects among the component of the robot, a hand, and object arranged around the robot, and a distance calculation unit for calculating the shortest distance between the models of the two objects. When the shortest distance is less than the distance determination value, the speed limit unit controls the operation speed of the robot so that the operation speed is equal to or lower than a predetermined limit speed.
