Abstract:
The robot system includes an imaging unit, an image processing unit, an entry request unit for a person to request entry to a predetermined section, and a signal output unit which, in a case where the person has requested entry into the predetermined section, outputs, depending on a processing result of the image processing unit, an entry permission signal indicating that the person is permitted to enter the predetermined section. If the image processing unit detects that the robot has reached a stopping position taught in advance after the person requested to enter the predetermined section, at least one of an instruction to stop the robot and an instruction to stop a part of the robot system which is necessary to enable the person to enter therein is outputted, and the signal output unit outputs the entry permission signal.
