Abstract
A robot that transfers a substrate includes a hand, an arm, a substrate detector, and a substrate orientation examiner. The hand holds and transfers the substrate. The arm is connected to the hand and moves the hand. The substrate detector detects absence or presence of the substrate in a non-contact manner. The substrate orientation examiner examines an orientation of the substrate based on a height detected by the substrate detector at which the substrate is located when it is not held by the hand.
