Abstract
A robot includes: a drive link; two parallel passive links coupled to the drive link; and a support mechanism having two shafts. Each shaft is fixed to each of the passive links so that each shaft is engaged with a through-hole at an intermediate position of each of the passive links along a longitudinal axis thereof, and an auxiliary link rotatably attached to the shafts by bearings in which the shafts engage. The through-hole is formed in a direction that is orthogonal to a plane including the longitudinal axis. Each shaft includes a first shaft section engaged with the through-hole and abutting on one end surface, a second shaft section engaged with the through-hole and abutting on another end surface, and a fastening section applying a force in a direction that causes the first shaft section and the second shaft section to approach each other within the through-hole.
