Abstract
A robot controller system includes a robot including a first actuator and a second actuator, a main controller for driving the first actuator, and a sub-controller for driving the second actuator. In the main controller, an actuator controller generates first control data for the first actuator and second control data for the second actuator, a first actuator driver generates a first drive signal based on the first control data, and a first input/output unit provides the sub-controller with the second control data. In the sub-controller, a second actuator driver generates a second drive signal based on the second control data provided via a second input/output unit from the first input/output unit. The main controller receives the second drive signal via the second input/output unit and the first input/output unit from the second actuator driver and provides the second actuator with the second drive signal.
