In the industrial robot 10 configured as described above, when the vehicle body 1 is not placed at a predetermined position, the robot main body 3 is retreated in the F direction by the self-propelled device 2 and set to a standby position. When the vehicle body 1 is transported in the direction A by the tact and set at a predetermined position, the robot 9 is operated and the door 8 is rotated and set at the open position. Next, self-propelled device 2
is activated, and the robot body 3 is moved in the E direction. During this movement, the rotation center point a of the arm 6 is at the third
As shown in the figure, it moves as a 1 , a 2 , etc. If the region 12 surrounded by the thick line 11 is considered to be inside the vehicle body 1, when the self-propelled device 2 moves in the E direction, the arm 6 is initially set in the direction along the E direction, and then as it approaches the vehicle body 1, the working member 6a is sequentially rotated in the direction G about point a in the horizontal plane so that it enters the region 12 in a predetermined manner. This can prevent the working member 6a at the tip of the arm 6 from coming into contact with the vehicle body 1 and damaging the vehicle body 1. At a point a n where the rotational center point a is closest to the vehicle body 1, the operation of the self-propelled device 2 is stopped, the robot body 3 is stopped at that position, and the interior work is performed by the robot body 3. After the work in the work area 12 is completed, the robot main body 3 is moved back in the F direction and set at a predetermined position by operating the robot body 3 in the reverse direction. Thereafter, the robot 9 is actuated to bring the door 8 to the closed position.

Thus, in the industrial robot of the present invention, as described above, the control means controls the tip of the robot body through the gap formed between the door opened by the door opening/closing means and the workpiece. The opening/closing means, the robot main body, and the moving device are controlled so that the tip enters the workpiece and the tip is retreated from the workpiece through the gap. Entry into the interior and retreat from the interior of the workpiece can be performed reliably and easily without damaging the tip, and in addition, interior work can be performed automatically.
