Abstract

A robot system includes circuitry and a robot. The circuitry is configured to set, based on a plurality of workpieces that move along a conveying surface, a window corresponding to n workpieces of the plurality of workpieces, according to an inflow order that is an order in which the plurality of workpieces have moved along the conveying surface, where n>1. The circuitry is further configured to determine a picking order by an optimization algorithm, based on a position of each of the n workpieces. The picking order is an order of picking one or more of the workpieces from the conveying surface and is different from the inflow order. The circuitry is further configured to select m workpieces from the window based on the picking order, where n>m. The robot is configured to pick the selected m workpieces from the conveying surface in the picking order.
