Method and system for automatically securing the operation of a robot system controlled by a mobile operating device

A method for operating a robot system with a mobile operating device that is provided for operating the robot system, the method comprising:

• periodically transmitting from the operating device a presence signal directed to the robot system via a short-range first signal connection;
• after transmitting the presence signal, receiving a configuration signal from the robot system, wherein the configuration signal includes information associated with a configuration request for the configuration of a user interface of the operating device;
• configuring the user interface on the basis of the configuration request;
• and
• transmitting an operating signal directed to the robot system via a second signal connection formed independently of the first signal connection, in response to an associated input at the user interface configured in accordance with the configuration signal.
