Abstract

A robot including: two link members with longitudinal axes that are coupled such that the link members are able to relatively rotate about an axial line; and a sensor that detects a force around the axial line acting between the link members due to an object pinched between the link members, in which the robot has such a shape that a width dimension in a direction along a plane of a cross-sectional surface of at least one of the link members, which perpendicularly intersects the axial line, on at least one sides from the longitudinal axes that intersect the axial line continuously spread from at least midway positions of the at least one of the link members in the direction of the longitudinal axes toward the axial line, respectively.
