Abstract
The industrial robot includes a hand 11, and a support member that supports the hand 11. The hand 11 includes a connecting portion 19 that configures a base end portion of the hand 11 and is connected to the support member, a loading portion 20 that configures a tip end portion of the hand 11 and on which the conveying target 2 is to be loaded, and a plurality of sensing mechanisms 22 that sense the conveying target 2 for correcting a position of the hand 11. The sensing mechanisms 22 are transmission type optical sensors each including a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion that are positioned to be opposite to each other via a gap in an up-down direction and are positioned on a base end side of the loading portion 20.
