A robot controller capable of finding a mistaught path and avoiding dangers involved in a real motion of a robot without using an off-line simulation system. An operation program for confirming safety is played back with the robot control system arranged such that a simulation function is on, a real motion is off, and comparison processing is on. When a played-back path designated by each block is compared with a reference path using data on interpolation points, an interpolation point ordinal index i is incremented by "1" (K1), an interpolation point on a reference path Tref(i) is read (K2) and compared with a corresponding interpolation point on the played-back path T(i). An index of distance d(i) and a distance evaluation index DELTAd(i) are calculated (K3, K4), and tool-tip orientation difference indices f(i) to h(i) and orientation-evaluation indices DELTAf(i) to DELTAh(i) are calculated (K5, K6). Based thereon, it is determined whether or not there is a path difference exceeding a reference value. The processing may be started with a real motion in an on-state, and the real motion of the robot may be nullified when a large path difference is found.
