Claims20
A robot comprising:
- a partition wound about a partition rotation axis extending in a first direction;
- a plurality of body parts surrounding an accommodation space in which the partition is accommodated;
- and
- a roller part having rollers rotatably mounted on at least some of the plurality of body parts,
- wherein the roller part includes a roller group that is a pair of the rollers mounted to face each other in each of two adjacent body parts of the plurality of body parts,
- wherein the roller part is configured to provide a guide state in which movement of a portion of the partition is guided in a second direction intersecting the first direction while the portion of the partition is located between the pair of the rollers, and
- wherein the roller part is configured to extract the partition from the accommodation space or retract the partition into the accommodation space in the second direction through rotation of the pair of the rollers.

A method of controlling a first robot and a second robot, wherein each of the first robot and the second robot includes:
- a partition wound about a partition rotation axis extending in a first direction,
- a plurality of body parts surrounding an accommodation space in which the partition is accommodated, and
- a roller part having rollers rotatably mounted on at least some of the plurality of body parts, wherein the roller part includes a roller group that is a pair of the rollers mounted to face each other in each of two adjacent body parts of the plurality of body parts, wherein the roller part is configured to provide a guide state in which movement of a portion of the partition is guided in a second direction intersecting the first direction while the portion of the partition is located between the pair of the rollers, and wherein the roller part is configured to extract the partition from the accommodation space or retract the partition into the accommodation space in the second direction through rotation of the pair of the rollers;
- wherein the method comprises:
- approaching the first robot and the second robot to each other;
- extracting a first partition from the first robot toward the second robot after the approaching;
- retracting the first partition extracted from the first robot into the second robot;
- and
- fixing the first partition retracted into the second robot to the second robot.
