ABSTRACT

A robot arm (40) is provided with an end effector (70) that grips a probe so
as to bring the probe (50) into contact with an inspection target. The end
effector includes an elastic member that is compressed by a force applied to
the probe from the inspection target, thereby allowing the probe to be
displaced in the direction of the compression.
