Abstract

A transfer robot includes a hand section, a horizontal arm mechanism, and a lift mechanism. An object is to be placed on the hand section. The horizontal arm mechanism is connected to the hand section and includes at least two rotary joints. The horizontal arm mechanism is configured to extend and contract so as to move the hand section along one direction. The lift mechanism is configured to move the horizontal arm mechanism up and down and includes a plurality of link mechanisms disposed on a base member. The horizontal arm mechanism is disposed between parts of the lift mechanism when the horizontal arm mechanism is moved to a lowest position.
