10. A method for depalletizing an article using a robot including a robot hand that includes a baseplate, a plurality of attraction pads, and a plurality of proximity sensors, the method comprising:
-
attracting and handling the article using the attraction pad or attraction pads in a predetermined area; recognizing external-form information of the article on the basis of a detection result of the proximity sensor or proximity sensors in an operated state; setting an area of the attraction pad or attraction pads that perform attraction on the basis of the recognized external-form information; and re-attracting and handling the article using the attraction pad or attraction pads in the set area, wherein the plurality of attraction pads are disposed so as to be interspersed in a direction of a surface of the baseplate and are each configured to attract a top surface of the article, and wherein the plurality of proximity sensors are disposed at the baseplate, each proximity sensor being configured to detect whether or not the article exists at a side of the holding member.
