ABSTRACT:
A robot control system for sequentially controlling a set of industrial robots for coordinated cooperative operation in accordance with a single general control program. The robot control system comprises a single storage unit storing a single general control program comprising motion instructions for the set of industrial robots, a single reading/compiling unit for separately reading the motion instructions from the storage unit and extracting the motion instructions for each industrial robot, and a plurality of driving units respectively driving the corresponding industrial robots in accordance with the motion instructions. The single general control program facilitates sequentially coordinating motion instructions for controlling the set of industrial robots so that the industrial robots will not interfere each other during the cooperative operation, finding errors in the instructions, and modifying the general control program to cope with changes in the process controlled by the robot control system.
