PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase speed of a lifting operation, by grabbing a handrail on an upper floor with the other grabbing portion depending on attitude change of a robot, grabbing the handrail grabbed by the other grabbing portion using one grabbing portion by linearly moving a rail linear motion joint in a state that one grabbing portion is separated from the handrail, and sequentially performing these operation. SOLUTION: One grabbing portion 24 of a robot 2 grabs a handrail 91 on a lower floor, and at this condition, a rail linear motion joint 26 is linearly moved, an attitude of the robot 2 is changed, and thereby, a handrail 92 on an upper floor is grabbed by the other grabbing portion 22. After then, in a state that one grabbing portion 24 is separated from the handrail 91, the rail linear motion joint 26 is linearly moved, and the attitude of the robot 2 is changed, and thereby, one grabbing portion 24 grabs the handrail 92 grabbed by the other grabbing portion 22. These operations are sequentially performed to lift up the robot between the handrails 91, 92. Thus, a lifting operation can be performed at a high speed.
