A workpiece conveying robot includes a base unit, a moving unit configured to move with respect to the base unit, a driving mechanism that drives the moving unit, and a detection unit. The moving unit includes a hand on which a workpiece is to be placed. The detection unit serves to detect information about the workpiece. Specifically, the detection unit includes a sensor provided at the hand, a base unit-side terminal provided at the base unit, and a moving unit-side terminal provided at the moving unit and electrically connected to the sensor. The base unit-side terminal and the moving unit-side terminal are brought into contact with each other when the moving unit is at a predetermined position.
