ABSTRACT:
A system and method for controlling an industrial robot wherein an adjustable optional region of a robot movement which differs from an inherent movable region defining the outer limits of robot movement and which is contained within the inherent movable region, is set by loading numerical data representing the shape of a workpiece to be handled by the robot, into a controller for the robot. During operation, the objective of the robot is controlled by the numerical data and thereby limited in movement to the optional region within said inherent movable region. The operational region is set in a rectangular coordinate system different from the operating coordinate system inherent to the robot, thereby defining a robot movement space which can be visualized and readily discerned by an operator.
