A method for remotely controlling a robot situated within a factory infrastructure. The method includes: receiving safety condition signals, which represent at least one safety condition which must be met for the robot to be allowed to be remotely controlled; checking whether the at least one safety condition is met; generating remote control signals for remotely controlling the robot based on a result of the check whether the at least one safety condition is met; and outputting the generated remote control signals. A device, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.
