Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A robot system, comprising:
a robot body;
a memory configured to store automatic operation information for causing the robot body to perform a given operation;
an operation controlling module configured to control the operation of the robot body based on the automatic operation information; and
a manipulator configured to generate corrective manipulation information based on a corrective manipulation for correcting the operation of the robot body under operation based on the automatic operation information,
wherein the operation controlling module selects, based on an input from the manipulator, an operation mode to be executed from a plurality of operation modes including an automatic mode in which the robot body is controlled based on the automatic operation information, and a correctable automatic mode in which the corrective manipulation information is acquired and the robot body is controlled to perform a corrected operation based on the corrective manipulation information,
wherein the memory stores corrected operation information based on the corrected operation as the next automatic operation information,
wherein the automatic operation information includes an operation path of the robot body, positional information on a first position on the operation path and a second position provided downstream of the first position in a moving direction and configured to serve as a reference position for the operation of the robot body,
wherein the operation path includes a plurality of sections, and
wherein the operation controlling module is adapted to:
stop the robot body and receive a selecting manipulation of the operation mode from the manipulator when the robot body is located at the first position;
make positional coordinates of the second position changeable from the second position in the automatic operation information when the correctable automatic mode is selected at the first position; and
correct, while in the correctable automatic mode, when the positional coordinates of the second position are changed, the automatic operation information so that the robot body reaches the changed second position while retaining a contour of a first section of the plurality of sections of the operation path included in the automatic operation information.
