Abstract
A robot includes: an n-th arm (where n is at least one integer equal to or greater than 1) that includes a first portion and a second portion having a portion extending in a different direction from the first portion and is rotatable around an n-th rotation axis; and an (n+1)-th arm that is installed in the n-th arm to be rotatable around an (n+1)-th rotation axis as a different axis direction from a axis direction of the n-th rotation axis. The second portion is located closer to the (n+1)-th arm than the first portion. The n-th arm and the (n+1)-th arm are overlapable when viewed in the axis direction of the (n+1)-th rotation axis. The n-th rotation axis and the (n+1)-th rotation axis are separate from each other. A length of the (n+1)-th arm is equal to or less than 80% of a length of the second portion.
