Abstract
To provide a robot system capable of ensuring safety while giving consideration to the occurrence of a trouble in image capture means. A robot system with a camera for monitoring a robot comprises: current position model generation means that generates a current position model for the robot based on current position data about the robot and robot model data about the robot; simulation image generation means that generates a simulation image of the robot viewed from the direction of the camera based on set position data about the camera, set position data about the robot, and the current position model; detection means that compares the simulation image and a monitoring image acquired from the camera to detect the robot in the monitoring image; and safety ensuring means that ensures the safety of the robot system if the detection means does not detect the robot in the monitoring image.
