Abstract
The present invention provides a robot system including: a movable human-collaborative robot including a human-collaborative robot, and a moving device that moves the human-collaborative robot mounted thereon; a control unit that controls the movable human-collaborative robot; and an approach sensor that detects approach of a human to the movable human-collaborative robot. The human-collaborative robot includes a human detection sensor that detects approach or contact of a human to or with the movable human-collaborative robot. When the approach sensor has detected the approach of a human, the control unit restricts the operation of at least the moving device and, when the human detection sensor has detected the approach of or contact with a human, the control unit performs control so as to stop the movable human-collaborative robot or so as to avoid the approach of or contact with the human.
