First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A robot comprising: a base; an arm provided on the base; a rotation shaft member that is hollow-tubular shaped, the rotation shaft member being provided in the base and the arm so as to continuously extend from the base to the arm, the rotation shaft member having a rotation axis around which the arm rotates; a cable routing member being configured with a plurality of cables, the cable routing member extending through an inner space of an entirety of the rotation shaft member, the cable routing member being bundled at first and second bundle positions on the rotation axis, the first bundle position being located in the base, the second bundle position being located in the arm, the cable routing member being bundled by a plate member and a bundling tool that is fastened to the plate member at the first bundle position; and a reducer having a sliding part, the reducer decelerating driving of the arm, wherein a lubricating oil is configured to be supplied to the sliding part from a location opposite to the arm with respect to the sliding part, and the cable routing member linearly extends between the first bundle position and the second bundle position. 2. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the lubricating oil is configured to be supplied to the sliding part from a side of the arm with respect to the sliding part. 3. The robot according to claim 2 , adapted to be suspended from a ceiling. 4. The robot according to claim 3 , adapted to be placed on a floor. 5. The robot according to claim 2 , adapted to be placed on a floor. 6. The robot according to claim 2 , wherein the base includes: a first groove for preventing entrance of a fluid into the base; and a second groove for preventing entrance of a fluid between an object on which the base is installed and the base. 7. The robot according to claim 1 , adapted to be suspended from a ceiling. 8. The robot according to claim 7 , adapted to be placed on a floor. 9. The robot according to claim 1 , adapted to be placed on a floor. 10. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein the base includes: a first groove for preventing entrance of a fluid into the base; and a second groove for preventing entrance of a fluid between an object on which the base is installed and the base.
