Abstract
A robot controller and a robot system capable of stably changing the orientation of a front end of a robot by applying a force to the front end, and moving each axis to a desired position. The robot controller for moving the robot based on the force applied to the robot includes a control point specifying part which specifies a control point in relation to the robot, and an operation commanding part which outputs a command so that the robot performs rotational movement about the control point. The robot has a structure constituted by sequentially combining three or more axes including at least three rotation axes, and rotation centerlines of the three rotation axes intersect at an origin of a centerline-intersecting axis, the centerline-intersecting axis corresponding to one of the three rotation axes. The control point specifying part specifies the origin of the centerline-intersecting axis as the control point.
