When two robots (main and sub robots) are specified, hand definitions data cannot
be shared between them. The main robot uses H0 - H3, and the sub robot H4 - H7
for hand definition data.

coordinate settings to the working points of the hand installed to the 2nd arm (Y-axis) or the R-axis.
This function allows movement using different hands towards point data in the same Cartesian
