Patent attributes
In a robot, a first determining unit determines whether there is an interference region in which a first occupation region and a second occupation region are at least partially overlapped with each other. A second determining determines whether a second movable part of another robot is at least partially located in the interference region based on an actual position of the second movable part. A stopping unit begins stopping, at a predetermined timing, movement of the first movable part if it is determined that there is the interference region, and that the second movable part is at least partially located in the interference region. The predetermined timing is determined based on a positional relationship between an actual position of the first movable part and the interference region.
