1. A robot comprising:
a moving mechanism which is capable of moving autonomously;
an elevating mechanism including a columnar member erected on the moving mechanism;
a table which is configured to be elevated and lowered by the elevating mechanism;
an arm base which is positioned above the table and configured to be elevated and lowered by the elevating mechanism;
an arm which is attached to the arm base and includes a hand capable of accessing an object on the table;
a sensor which is configured to detect the object and a surrounding area of the robot; and
a controller which is configured to control the moving mechanism, the elevating mechanism, and the arm based on information from an external source and a detection result of the sensor,
wherein:
a circumscribed space circumscribing at least the robot except for the arm is in a shape of a cuboid having a bottom face that is a face of a quadrilateral that circumscribes, in a top view, a shape of the robot except for the arm;
the arm has a structure capable of accessing an outside of the circumscribed space;
a length A of a first of two orthogonal sides of the bottom face is 110 cm or less, and a length B of a second of the two orthogonal sides is 110 cm or less, independent of A; and
a height H of the circumscribed space is 1.5A or more.
