Abstract

A robot includes a power source of the robot, and a switch section adapted to block electrical power supply to the power source. The switch section is disposed on a front side of the robot arranged to face to a workbench when at work. The switch section blocks the electrical power supply to the power source in a case in which it is detected that a distance between the robot and the workbench is longer than a predetermined distance.
