A robot includes an instruction receiving unit that receives a calibration initiation instruction, and an arm that changes a positional relationship between a marker which indicates a reference point and a capturing unit when the calibration initiation instruction is received, in which the calibration of a coordinate system of the capturing unit and a coordinate system of the robot is performed on the basis of an image in which the marker is captured by the capturing unit after the positional relationship between the capturing unit and the marker changes.

Robot and robot system

A robot includes an arm, and the arm is controlled using an offset of a reference point of a tool, the tool being attached to the arm, the offset being set based on a first state, in which a first image, in which the reference point is located at a control point of an image, can be taken by a imaging section, and a second state, in which a second image, in which the tool is rotated around a rotational axis passing through a position of the reference point in the state in which the reference point is located at the control point, can be taken by the imaging section, and controlled based on a third image, which is taken by the imaging section, and in which the control point is shifted from the reference point, in a process of a transition from the first state to the second state.
