Abstract
A robot includes a holder, a puller, a sensor, and a dimension obtainer. The holder holds an article placed on a supporter. The puller pulls the holder to a front side. The sensor detects that the article being pulled out ceased being on the supporter. The dimension obtainer obtains a dimension of the article along a pullout direction based on a distance that the article is pulled for from when the puller starts to pull out the article until when the sensor detects that the article ceased being on the supporter.
