Abstract
A control device includes a processor that is configured to execute computer-executable instructions so as to control an arm included in a robot. The processor is configured to perform work on a target using a tool that performs work on the target. A distance meter measures a measurement value according to a relative distance between a first position of the target and the tool. The first position includes a portion overlapping with the tool when viewed from a direction toward the target from the tool.
