  • Publication number: 20250170718
    Abstract: A robot system includes a robot hand that includes a plurality of finger portions, a plurality of belts provided on the plurality of finger portions, and a motor for driving the plurality of belts, and a control device that controls the robot hand. The control method includes rotating, by the robot hand, a target object about a first axis on a three-dimensional coordinate axis and about a second axis different from the first axis by driving the plurality of belts in a state of gripping the target object. The control device causes the target object to transition to a target posture rotated about a third axis orthogonal to each of the first axis and the second axis by combining the rotation about the first axis and the rotation about the second axis in a case where the target object gripped by the robot hand is in the target posture.
