Abstract
A work robot sequentially holds multiple workpieces supplied to a supply area and moves the held workpieces to a work area. The work robot includes an image-capturing device configured to capture images of the multiple workpieces supplied to the supply area in random orientations and positions, an image processing device configured to recognize multiple workpiece regions from the images captured by the image-capturing device, obtain an area and a position of each of the recognized multiple workpiece regions, and obtain a distance between each workpiece region and the work area or the work robot, and a control device configured to determine a holding order of the workpiece based on the areas of the multiple workpiece regions and the distance between each workpiece region and the work area or the work robot as obtained by the image processing device.
