Abstract
By a transport robot having a hand provided with stationary clamp members and a movable clamp member which pinches a to-be-transported object S between the movable clamp member and the stationary clamp members, after transporting the to-be-transported object-S in a horizontal posture to a transport destination, the hand is lowered in a state in which the movable clamp member is receded to an unclamped position, thereby transferring the to-be-transported object onto a plurality of supporting pins which are disposed at the transport destination. In the method mentioned above, an arrangement is made that, even if the stationary clamp members give rise to dents due to wear, the to-be-transported object is arranged to be transferred onto the supporting pins without problems.
