Summary:A reliable, expandable robot control system requiring less maintenance. A main controller (1) and a controller (2) control a manipulator (4) that operates with a servomotor. Communication means (5) is provided for data communication between the main controller (1) and the auxiliary controller (2). The main controller (1) is connected through communication means (7) to a centralized controller (3), which performs total management and control of a plurality of robot controllers connected with it. La présente invention concerne un système de commande de robot fiable et extensible qui réduit les besoins en maintenance. En l'occurrence, un manipulateur (4) animé par un moteur d'asservissement fonctionne sous la commande d'un contrôleur principal (1) et d'un contrôleur auxiliaire (2). Un organe de communication (5) assure les communications informatiques entre le contrôleur principal (1) et le contrôleur auxiliaire (2). Un autre organe de communications (7) permet également de relier le contrôleur principal (1) à un contrôleur central (3) qui assure la gestion d'ensemble et commande une pluralité de contrôleurs de robots auxquels il est connecté.
