Abstract
A robot control device calculates an evaluation value, based on a partial point cloud included in a plurality of areas corresponding to a gripping unit of a robot for gripping a target object, of a three-dimensional point cloud representing a three-dimensional shape of a surface of the target object. The robot control device calculates a position and an attitude of the gripping unit taken when the gripping unit is made to grip the target object, based on the calculated evaluation value. The robot control device causes the gripping unit to grip the target object, based on the position and the attitude of the gripping unit thus calculated.
