<p>The robot is automatically operated in accordance with a zigzag running pattern (14) set in a desired working area (12) which is determined by a width (Lx) and a length (Ly). In a teaching mode a first straight run and a first turn of the running pattern to be set are executed by manual operation. A straight running distance and turning direction as defined by this manual operation are set as initial values by the control apparatus and the zigzag running pattern (14) is automatically generated. Subsequently, the automatic operation is performed in accordance with the automatically-generated zigzag running pattern. Alternatively, entirely automatic or entirely manual operation is possible. Remote control is possible. …<??>The control apparatus is advantageously applied to a working robot which runs over a concreted floor to flatten and finish the same. …<??>Collision sensors (42, Fig 5) may be fitted. …<IMAGE>… </p> |
