Abstract
A robot and a control method thereof. The robot has plural robot arms, each having at least one joint unit and a hand, and the control method includes dividing an object into target and feasible grasp regions and storing grasp policies respectively corresponding to the grasp regions, sensing respective orientations of the object, the at least one joint unit, and an obstacle, judging whether or not grasping of the target grasp region is feasible after sensing the orientations, generating a grasp route using the grasp policy for the target grasp region, upon judging that grasping of the target grasp region is feasible, and generating a grasp route using the grasp policy for one of the feasible grasp regions, upon judging that grasping of the target grasp region is not feasible, and controlling the at least one joint unit and the hand to trace the generated grasp route.
