Abstract: A robot apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first robot and a second robot. The first robot includes a first hand section and a first control section. The first hand section is configured to be capable of holding one part of a work. The first control section is configured to be capable of controlling the first hand section and generating a reference signal including information about an action of the first hand section. The second robot includes a second hand section and a second control section. The second hand section is configured to be capable of holding another part of the work. The second control section is configured to be capable of selectively executing a first control mode that controls the second hand section and a second control mode that controls the second hand section by cooperating with the first hand section on the basis of the reference signal.

Abstract: An assembly apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a work base, a first robot, a second robot, and a controller. The work base has a placement surface on which a plurality of works is placed and causes the plurality of works to individually circulate to a plurality of work areas arranged along a circumference every certain time. The first robot is disposed inside the circumference and capable of accessing the plurality of work areas. The second robot is disposed outside the circumference and capable of accessing at least one work area out of the plurality of work areas. The controller causes the first robot to perform a predetermined process within the certain time with respect to works on a plurality of predetermined work areas out of the plurality of work areas, and causes the second robot to perform an operation of assisting the process by the first robot with respect to the work on the at least one work area out of the plurality of predetermined work areas.
