PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability related to remote control by notifying an operator that a body to be controlled and an obstacle at the periphery of the body to be controlled become closer to each other. SOLUTION: A robot 10 identifies a distance L between a leading end of a robot hand and the obstacle at its periphery and a moving velocity V of the leading end of the robot hand (S1 and S2), and computes an estimated contact time until the tip of the robot hand comes into contact with the obstacle (S3). The robot 10 acquires a predicted value T<SB>d</SB>of a time required for transmission until contact information, notifying the operator that the tip of the robot hand becomes closer to the obstacle, reaches an operation control unit 20 from a time when it transmits contact information to the operation control unit 20 (S4). When the estimated required time is equal to or shorter than the sum of the predicted value T<SB>d</SB>and a specified time T<SB>r</SB>(S5:YES), the robot 10 transmits the contact information (S6 and S7). Thus, the operation control unit 20 provides the notification of the contact of both of them on the basis of the contact information before they actually come into contact with each other without a reference to the degree of a delay of communication (S8 and S9).
