Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a robot system according to the present invention, an operation panel includes a biometric information acquisition unit configured to acquire biometric information of an operator who uses the operation panel. The robot system includes a biometric information storage unit configured to store biometric information of a plurality of operators, an operator determination unit configured to determine an operator who uses the operation panel by matching the biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit with the biometric information stored by the biometric information storage unit when the operation panel is activated or when a predetermined operation is executed for the operation panel, and a limitation unit configured to individually limit executable functions for the operator determined by the operator determination unit.
