First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A robot comprising an arm and a hand, the robot bringing a tool gripped by the hand into contact with an object and changing at least one of a position and a posture of the hand gripping the tool. 2 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the robot reduces a gripping force of the hand gripping the tool to make it possible to change at least one of the position and the posture. 3 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the robot changes at least one of the position and the posture after work performed by the hand with the tool. 4 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the object is a jig on which the tool is placed. 5 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the object is a part of a workbench. 6 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the object is a part of the robot. 7 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the robot changes at least one of the position and the posture before the hand performs first work with the tool. 8 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the robot changes at least one of the position and the posture when at least one of the position and the posture deviates. 9 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the arms are provided, and the hand is provided in each of the arms. 10 . The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the hand is detachably attachable to the arm. 11 . A control device that causes a robot including an arm and a hand to bring a tool gripped by the hand into contact with an object and change at least one of a position and a posture of the hand gripping the tool.
