Abstract
One or more magnetic members including a magnetic member, and two magnetic members are disposed between the different travel areas. A polarity of the magnetic member on an upper surface side is a first magnetic pole. A polarity of each of the two magnetic members on the upper surface side is a second magnetic pole. The robot includes a magnetic sensor configured to detect the first magnetic pole, a safety apparatus configured to suppress an operation of the robot in response to the detection of the first magnetic pole, a magnetic sensor, a switching unit configured to switch between a stopped state and an operable state of the safety apparatus in response to the detection of the second magnetic pole, and a recognition unit configured to recognize a movement of the robot between the different travel areas by detecting each of the one or more magnetic members.
