ABSTRACT:
A robot includes a work tool, an arm, a cable, and a third member. The work tool is configured to perform a predetermined work with respect to a workpiece. The work tool is attached to the wrist. The arm supports the wrist and is rotatable around a rotational axis. The arm includes first and second members which are provided substantially in parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction of the arm to form a space between the first and second members. The cable extends through the space and is connected to the work tool. The third member connects the first and second members.
