Abstract
A robot system including a robot having one or more joints, and a control device that controls the robot, where the robot has, at at least one of the joints, a torque sensor for detecting a first torque about an axis of said joint, and has, at a position farther on a distal end side than the torque sensor, a force sensor for detecting a force. The control device determines whether or not to stop the robot on the basis of only the first torque, when the force detected by the force sensor is less than or equal to a prescribed first threshold.
