1. A work robot which executes a work to operate a target, the work robot comprising:
- an image-capturing unit which captures an image including the target;
a storage unit which stores, during teaching, an image captured by the image-capturing unit and an operation content taught by an operator in correlation to each other; and
a controlling unit which acquires, during work, an image captured by the image-capturing unit, searches the storage unit for an image which is similar to the acquired image, and operates the target based on an operation content correlated to an image found from the storage unit as a result of the search.

Abstract
A work robot for executing a work for operating an object includes a robot body for capturing an image including the object. During a teach mode, the captured image is correlated with an operation content taught by an operator and held. During a work mode, the captured image is acquired, an image similar to the acquired image is searched, and the object is operated according to the operation content correlated with the image captured in the past which has been found as a result of the search.
