  • the robot 1 is operated so that the rotation axis A 1 , the rotation axis A 3 , and the rotation axis A 5 become perpendicular to the mounting surface 101 .
  • This can minimize the amount of protrusion of the robot 1 in the direction horizontal to the mounting surface 101 .

Therefore, even if the angle between the arm member 13 and the arm member 14 is made more acute by greatly rotating the fourth actuator 14 A, the curvature of the cable 3 can be limited to a relatively small value. Hence, it is possible to reduce damage to the cable 3 due to the increase in curvature of the cable 3 .

  • the robot system 200 of the second embodiment has the above-described configuration, in contrast to the robot 1 of the first embodiment, it is necessary to avoid a singular point caused when a fourth actuator 14 A is bent, but it is possible to easily rotate the end effecter attached to the flange 27 by simply driving the seventh actuator 27 A.
  • the second embodiment is suitable for an application in which the end effecter is rotated.
  • the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the base adopted in the first embodiment is removed and the body is provided with a pair of (two) arms 400 having a structure similar to that of the arm of the robot 1 .

  • the turning body portion 301 B obliquely extends upward and the pair of arms 400 are attached thereto.
  • the offset between the rotation axis Ab and the rotation axis A 1 allows the flanges 17 of the arms 400 to be moved to farther positions by rotating the actuator 301 C.
