Abstract
A robot system includes a robot, an attraction pad, a sensor, and a controller. The robot includes a hand whose orientation is changeable. The attraction pad is attached to the hand, attracts a workpiece, and holds the workpiece. The sensor is attached to the hand, includes a detection surface, and detects contact between the detection surface and the workpiece. The controller can determine whether the workpiece has been brought into surface contact with the detection surface based on a result of detection made by the sensor and changes the orientation of the hand, until the workpiece makes surface contact with the detection surface, and then makes the attraction pad hold the workpiece.
