Abstract

A reset process includes: first processing for resetting a force detection unit; second processing for determining whether a peak output value from the force detection unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold value in a first period and updating a determination result; third processing for executing the first processing when the peak value is equal to or greater than the first threshold value; fourth processing for executing the second processing when the peak value is not equal to or greater than the first threshold value and a second period did not elapse from the timing when the force detection unit was reset; and fifth processing for calculating an average of the output values in a third period as a first offset value when the peak value is not equal to or greater than the first threshold value and the second period elapsed from the timing.
