A robot includes a body structure on which a robot arm having an end
effector is rotatably supported. The body structure has a stationary base
unit fixedly installed and a movable unit rotatably supported on the
stationary base unit to turn about an axis of rotation. The stationary
base unit includes a stationary-side guide part having a stationary-side
internal space in which a flexible, elongate member connected to the
robot arm or the end effector is extended loosely along the axis of
rotation. The stationary-side guide part opens upstream in an elongate
member inserting direction. The movable unit includes a movable-side
guide part having a movable-side internal space in which the elongate
member is extended loosely along the axis of rotation. The movable-side
guide part opens downstream in an elongate member inserting direction.
The stationary-side and the movable-side internal spaces communicate with
each other.
