Abstract: A substrate transfer robot includes a hand and a robot control unit. The hand includes: four guides (including a guide disposed on a distal end of the hand body) that are provided on the top surface of a hand body, and receive an outer edge portion of the substrate; a pusher disposed on a proximal end of the hand body; a pusher actuator that moves the pusher horizontally; and a weight sensor unit that measures the weight of the substrate placed on the hand.
