Machine work identify, insufficient machine work detect and other similar external data and data, such as the current and teach positions of the robot, are set in a work memory. A processor accomplishes write/read control of the teaching memory and the work memory and processing of the various data. In accordance with the result of processing by the processor, the robot is controlled and, in accordance with the contents of the external data, the teach data or the sequence by which the teach data controls is modified, thereby to efficiently operate the robot. | |
