  • Patent number: 8650965
    Abstract: A robot according to an embodiment includes an arm, a strain sensor, one or more actuator, and a sensor fixing jig. The strain sensor includes a piezoelectric body that has a natural frequency higher than a natural frequency of a structural material forming the arm. The one or more actuators are provided in the arm to drive the arm. The sensor fixing jig is provided in a base of the actuator, among the actuators in the arm, closest to a base end of the arm. The strain sensor is provided in the sensor fixing jig.
