According to the above structure, the signal receiving means of one robot manipulator to be taught among the two or more sets of robot manipulators is irradiated with the signal from the signal transmitting means of the teaching operation panel. When the robot controller receives a signal from the teaching operation panel, it sends an exclusive signal to another robot controller, prohibits the operation of other robot manipulators, and then only the manipulator receiving the signal from the teaching operation panel. Performs an operation for teaching according to a signal from the teaching operation panel. Therefore, operation teaching of two or more manipulators can be performed by one teaching operation panel without replacing the teaching operation panel.

FIG. 1 shows an example of controlling two robot manipulators. Robot manipulator 1
There is a set of robots A consisting of the control device 2 and the optical signal receiving means 4, and another set of robots B consisting of the robot manipulator 11, the control device 12 and the optical signal receiving means 14. The robots A and B are connected by exclusive processing signal lines 5 and 15. The teaching operation panel 6 common to the robots A and B is equipped with an optical signal transmitting means 7 and emits an optical signal 8 having a strong directivity.
When the optical signal receiving means 4 of the robot A receives the optical signal 8, the robot A becomes a control target of the teaching operation panel 6, an exclusive processing signal is sent to the robot B through the exclusive processing signal line 5, and the operation of the robot B is prohibited. To be done. On the contrary, when the optical signal receiving means 14 of the robot B receives the optical signal 8, the robot B
Becomes the control target of the teaching pendant 6, and the exclusive processing signal line 15
Due to this, an exclusive processing signal is sent to the robot A and the operation of the robot A is prohibited.
