A care robot that stands up a care receiver in a posture without discomfort even when a foot position of the sitting care receiver varies. The care robot comprises a base; a robot arm section that is provided on the base and includes multiple arms that are relatively movable to each other by using a drive section; a holding section that is provided on a portion of the robot arm section and that assists the care receiver to stand up or sit down by supporting a body part of the care receiver; a storage section 26 that stores standing up trajectory reference data which indicates the standing up trajectory along which a movement control portion of the care receiver passes when the care receiver sitting on a seat stands up being supported by the holding section; a correction section 27e that corrects the standing up trajectory reference data based on a foot position of the care receiver when sitting on the seat; and a drive control section 27f that drives the drive section so as to drive the robot arm section based on the standing up trajectory reference data corrected by the correction section.
