The conventional stacking prevention method in the transfer robot has been performed by inputting the presence / absence signal of the transfer object detected by the limit switch installed on the mounting table to the robot controller. A schematic view of a conventional transfer robot is shown in FIG. In the figure, (1) is a mounting table,
(2) is a robot hand, (3) is a limit switch,
(8) and (9) are goods to be transported, (10) is a robot controller, (11) is a host CRU, (12) is the entire robot, (1
4) is the limit switch signal.

Next, the operation will be described. When the work piece (8) is placed on the mounting table (1), the limit switch (3) works,
The limit switch signal (14) is input to the robot controller (10). At this time, even if the host CPU (10) issues an operation command to the robot controller (10) to place another workpiece (9) on the mounting table (1), the robot controller (10) still mounts on the mounting table (1). Since the work piece is recognized to be placed on the machine, it was prevented from overlapping by not executing such an operation command.

Since the conventional transfer robot is configured as described above, before the robot controller (10) executes the operation command for placing the workpiece, the human or the processing device places another workpiece on the table (1). When the robot controller (10) puts another workpiece on the table (1) while the robot controller (10) is executing the operation command, it can prevent the robot from overlapping. There is a problem that it is not possible to prevent the hand (2) from overlapping with the work carried by it, and the number of input of the limit switch signal (14) to the robot controller (10) also increases due to the increase in the number of mounting bases. There was a problem that the hardware and software of the robot controller (10) had to be changed. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to prevent stacking even while the robot controller (10) is executing an operation command and to increase the number of mounting bases. Also, robot controller (10)
The purpose is to obtain a transport robot without any changes in hardware and software.

The transport robot according to the present invention uses the light from the light emitting device installed near the mounting table to detect that the transported object has already been placed on the mounting table and the robot hand tries to place another transported object on the mounting table. By causing the robot controller to recognize immediately before the operation, overlapping can be prevented even while the robot controller is executing the operation command.

Next, the operation will be described. When the transported object (8) is placed on the mounting table (1), the limit switch (3) causes the light emitter (5) to emit light. The robot hand (2), which has placed the transported object (9) on the mounting table (1), detects the light (6) by the optical sensor (7). Based on the optical sensor signal (13), the robot controller (10) recognizes that the work piece is placed on the mounting table (1), and immediately the robot controller (10) stops the robot hand (2). The command is issued and the robot hand (2) immediately stops. However, when the robot hand (2) approaches because of the operation of picking up the conveyed object (9) of the mounting table (1), the robot hands are not overlaid, so even if the optical sensor (7) of the robot hand is detected. The robot controller (10) makes its own judgment so as not to issue a stop command.
