A seam welding robot includes a robot arm and a welding unit that is coupled to the robot arm. The welding unit includes a pair of roller electrodes. The pair of roller electrodes rotates following motion of the robot arm while sandwiching and pressurizing welding targets. The welding unit passes a welding electric current between the pair of roller electrodes to seam-weld the welding targets.
