Abstract
Embodiments of present disclosure relate to a robot and a method for adjusting sewn threads. The robot includes a robotic arm configured to hold an adjusting tool, and a controller configured to cause the adjusting tool to partially go across a thread section along a path defined between a bottom side of the thread section and an outer surface of an object. The sewn threads have a first end fixed to the object and a second end, a plural of stitches formed across a sewing zone on the object between the first end and the second end, and each stitch has the thread section including a top side and the opposite bottom side. Then the adjusting tool moves upward away from the outer surface so as to adjust pitches between the stitches.
