Abstract

A robot system includes: a robot where a hand for handling a workpiece is mounted; a movement mechanism to change the relative positions of the robot and workpiece; a workpiece sensor to detect the position of the workpiece; an obstacle sensor to detect the position of a surrounding obstacle; and a control device that controls the robot and the movement mechanism. The robot includes a load sensor to detect a load acting on an operating axis of the robot. The control device generates a first map of arrangements of the workpiece and the obstacle from the detected position of the workpiece and position of the obstacle, generates a second map of a degree of influence on the lifetime of the robot for each relative positioning by the movement mechanism, and determines the relative positioning by the movement mechanism on the basis of the generated first map and second map.
