Abstract
A robot includes a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm includes one joint, an adjacent joint that is adjacent to the one joint, and another adjacent joint that is adjacent to the adjacent joint. When the first arm is extended in a vertical orientation relative to the body, the one joint of the first arm has a rotation axis that is offset by a first distance in a first horizontal direction from a rotation axis of the adjacent joint of the first arm, and the another adjacent joint of the first arm has a rotation axis that is offset by a second distance in a second horizontal direction from the rotation axis of the adjacent joint of the first arm. The first horizontal direction is opposite to the second horizontal direction.
