What is the function of the robot controller in a FANUC Handling Tool system?

The function of the robot controller in a FANUC Handling Tool system is to process commands and manage the robot’s functionality. This includes executing programmed tasks, coordinating the robot's movements, and interacting with other devices within the system. The controller operates as the brain of the robot, interpreting inputs from user commands or sensors and translating them into actions that the robot performs. This enables the automation of complex tasks, improves precision, and enhances productivity in various applications.

The other options do not fully encompass the primary role of the robot controller. For instance, while it may provide power to the robot as part of its overall functionality, that is a secondary role compared to command processing. Similarly, storing the robot's memory is a function that may be part of a controller's capabilities, but it is not its primary purpose. Providing physical support pertains to the mechanical structure of the robot itself, which is separate from the control and command functionality.
