Abstract
Provided is a robot comprising a telescopic-drive mechanism which does not contaminate works in a purified environment such as a clean room, is easy to handle, and requires no cover for covering the telescopic-drive mechanism. A robot comprises: an up-down axis in which a plurality of hollow axis sectional elements telescopically continue; and a telescopic-drive mechanism for driving the up-down axis to be vertically extended or retracted between an extended state in which a tip end of the up-down axis extends with respect to a base end thereof and a retracted state in which the tip end is moved close to the base end, wherein the telescopic-drive mechanism is integrated on one side of the up-down axis without being exposed from the up-down axis.
