Summary:To provide a robot system which, when it determines that a person is present in a range of a predetermined distance from a robot, performs control to decelerate or stop the operation of the robot, and yet is unlikely to reduce the productivity of the work.SOLUTION: The robot system includes: a robot that operates in cooperation with a person; a determination unit that determines the presence of a person in a region of a predetermined distance from the robot; and a control unit that decelerates or stops the operation of the robot when the presence of a person in the region is determined by the determination unit. The control unit changes the distance on the basis of the determination result of the determination unit as to the presence of a person.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】ロボットから所定の距離の範囲内に人がいることが特定されたときにロボットの動作を減速または停止させる制御を行いつつ、作業の生産性を低下させにくいロボットシステムを提供すること。【解決手段】人と協働して動作するロボットと、前記ロボットから所定の距離の領域内にいる人を特定する特定部と、前記特定部により前記領域内に人がいることが特定されたとき、前記ロボットの動作を減速または停止させる制御部と、を備え、前記制御部は、前記特定部による人の特定結果に基づいて、前記距離を変更することを特徴とするロボットシステム。【選択図】図４
