1. A robot comprising:
a primary part;
a plurality of sub-parts, wherein
the sub-parts are each configured to be attached to and detached from the primary part, and
the primary part includes
information processing circuitry configured to acquire part identification information used for identifying the plurality of sub-parts, and
drive processing circuitry configured to control a movement of at least one of the sub-parts in a manner of control associated with the part identification information acquired by the information processing circuitry; and
a memory configured to retain a drive parameter used for controlling the movement of the sub-part, in association with a combination of a plurality of pieces of part identification information, wherein,
in response to the drive parameter associated with the combination of the plurality of pieces of part identification information being available, the drive processing circuitry reads out the drive parameter retained in association with the combination of the plurality of pieces of part identification information, from the memory, and controls the movement of the sub-part, and
in response to no drive parameter being associated with the combination of the plurality of pieces of part identification information, the drive processing circuitry automatically starts learning a mobility function for the combination of the plurality of pieces of part identification information.
