<p>A robot having a managing device having a simple structure for an umbilical member (18) or a conduit, by which an interference region of the conduit is reduced as much as possible and the undesirable excess length of the conduit may be cancelled without using an auxiliary device. A first conduit supporting member (20) is arranged on an upper arm (10) of the robot and a second conduit supporting member (22) is arranged on a wrist element (14) of the robot. The conduit (18) is fixed to or twistably supported by the first and second supporting member. Further, the conduit is held by a holding member (24), mounted between the first and second supporting member, in particular, adjacent to the side of a forearm (12) of the robot, such that the conduit may slide relative to the holding member (24) and may rotate about axes along and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the conduit. As the holding member (24) is positioned as close to the forearm (12) as possible, a gap between the conduit and the forearm is reduced and the possibility of interference between the conduit and an external equipment may be minimized.</p> |
