Abstract
A robot includes n arms, n drive units that respectively drive the n arms, n position detecting units that respectively detect positions of the n arms, and L signal lines through which signals detected by the n position detecting units flow. When the number of control units that control the driving of the drive units based on the signals detected by the position detecting units is m, the robot satisfies the relations of 2≤L<n and 2≤m<n.
