Abstract
A member for piping and wiring to an end effector of a robot is discharged from a first wrist element into a void area in a position displaced from an axis c, being bent and loosened, and then guided to a hollow path. Any variance in a length of the piping/wiring member due to rotations of second and third wrist elements is absorbed in this void area, so that twining round or scratching by a wrist can be prevented.
