Abstract: A fluid transporting apparatus includes a plurality of fingers arranged along a transporting direction in which fluid is transported by a tube having elasticity, the fingers reciprocatingly moving to compress or release the tube, and a driving section configured to move the plurality of fingers in a compressing direction. The fingers move in the compressing direction and crush the tube with ends of the fingers to transport the fluid on the inside of the tube in the transporting direction. The shape of the crushed tube is restored to fill the fluid in the inside of the tube. In a releasing action, in a state in which the ends of the fingers are in contact with the tube, movement of the fingers in a releasing direction is limited to a predetermined position.
