Abstract

Disclosed are a robot, which performs cooperative work with a plurality of robot manipulators through impedance control, and a method of controlling cooperative work of the robot. The method includes calculating absolute coordinate positions of end effectors, respectively provided at a plurality of manipulators to perform the work; calculating a relative coordinate position from the absolute coordinate positions of the end effectors; calculating joint torques of the plurality of manipulators using the relative coordinate position; and controlling the cooperative work of the plurality of manipulators according to the joint torques.
