    Abstract: A robot (1) comprises at least one articulate arm having for members (3, 4-1,..., 4-5, 5) a base (3), an end effector (5) and a plurality of links (4-1,..., 4-6), wherein each link (4-1,..., 4-6) is movably connected to two others of said members (3, 4-1, f 4-6, 5) by respective joints (7-1,..., 7-6), at least one sensor (10, 9) for detecting an external force acting on any one of the members (3, 4-1, f 4-6, 5), and a controller (6) for controlling movements of the joints (7-1,..., 7-6), so as to move the end effector (5) along a pre-programmed path (12). In case of the sensor (9, 10) detecting an external force, the controller (6) is adapted to adopt a first release strategy for escaping from the external force, to evaluate whether the first strategy is successful, and if not, to adopt a second release strategy.
