ABSTRACT:
An industrial robot apparatus has a plurality of robots mounted for movement along a pathway. When a malfunction sensor detects a malfunction of one of the robots, a withdrawal controller withdraws the malfunctioning robot from the pathway, and the operation usually performed by the malfunctioning robot is allotted to one or more of the remaining normal robots by an operation allotter. A normal robot to which an operation is allotted is controlled by a hand replacement controller to replace its detachable hand with a hand corresponding to that of the malfunctioning robot.
