PURPOSE:To secure safety so as to prevent mutual interference among robots and to increase the mobile area of robots with reduction of their working time, by keeping other robots away from interference sections of a specific area if a certain robot is in a section of said specific area. CONSTITUTION:An interference area 5 is divided into plural sections with a fixed pitch P which is defined by software. Addresses such as I -1- I -5 and II- 1-II-5 are added to these divided sections in response to robots 1 and 2 respectively. With such divisions of the area 5, robots 1 and 2 can take sections I - 1- I -5 and II-1-II-5 as their mobile areas respectively. For the mutual relations among these sections, the sections II-2-II-5, for example, of the robot 2 are defined as interference sections to the sections I -1 of the robot 1. Thus only the section II-1 is defined as a mobile section. In such a way, the control is possible to keep other robots away from those interference areas. |
