Abstract
A robot includes a robot body, a hand, an arm, and a controller. The hand includes a fixed frame that is fixed to the arm, a first camera that is attached to the fixed frame, a movable frame that is rotatable with respect to the fixed frame, gripping portions that are attached to the movable frame to grip an article having a front surface facing the robot and a back surface opposite to the front surface, and a driver that rotates the movable frame. The gripping portions grip the article in a state where the back surface is opened, and shift from a first state where the article is gripped to a second state where the back surface of the article is able to be captured by the first camera by the rotation of the movable frame.
