Cell production apparatus, cell production method, computer-readable storage medium, and cell production system

A cell production apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a protocol acquisition unit that uses the at least one processor to acquire a protocol created in such a format that a series of operations in cell culture are executable by a robot;
• an implementation unit that uses the at least one processor to control the robot such that the robot implements the operations according to the protocol;
• a protocol modification information acquisition unit that, in order to modify the protocol after the implementation of the operations, uses the at least one processor to acquire modification information on a complementary action which complements a basic action serving as a basis for implementing the operations and performed on an instrument used by the robot in the operations;
• and
• a production unit that uses the at least one processor to control the robot such that the robot produces cells by using a protocol modified based on the modification information;
• wherein
• the basic action is an action that is specified by a value of a basic action parameter for each operation when the protocol is set, and
• the complementary action is an action that is not included in a variable range of the basic action by changing the basic action parameter.
