A direct teaching type robot has a moving arm driven by an electric motor. The moving arm is directly moved to previously stored data corresponding to the movement of the moving arm in a robot controller and when operated as the robot the moving arm is, operated on the basis of the stored data. Power lines for the electric motor are cut off in a teaching mode in which movement positions of the moving arm are taught in the robot.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 27, 1990 and granted October 12, 1993. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 27, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
