A robot system includes: a robot; a sensor that detects entry of a person into a peripheral region of the robot; and a control device that controls the robot and the sensor. The control device is provided with: a robot control unit that controls the robot; an operating-region prediction unit that sequentially predicts an operating region of the robot up to a predetermined time later; and a detection-region control unit that sets to enabled a detection result of the sensor in a region, of the peripheral region, that includes the operating region, which is predicted by the operating-region prediction unit, and sets to disabled the detection result of the sensor in the other region of the peripheral region. The robot control unit limits the operation of the robot when entry of a person is detected in the region where the detection result of the sensor has been set to enabled.
