To sufficiently remove stain of an object comprising a plurality of object surfaces whose directions are different.SOLUTION: A cleaning robot comprises an arm having a tip part to which a brush is attached and extending in a first direction parallel to a horizontal direction, and a driving part that is connected to the arm. The driving part includes a first mechanism that moves the arm in the first direction, a second mechanism that moves the arm in a second direction parallel to a vertical direction orthogonal to the first direction, and a third mechanism that moves the arm in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and to the second direction respectively, where the arm is configured so that directions of the tip part can be switched. The robot further comprises a control part that can switch the directions of the tip part between when cleaning a first object surface of an object confronting in the first direction and when cleaning a second object surface of the object confronting in the second direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】向きの異なる複数の対象面を備える対象物の汚れを十分に除去する。【解決手段】ブラシが取り付けられる先端部を有し、水平方向と平行な第１方向に延びるアームと、アームと接続される駆動部とを備え、駆動部は、アームを第１方向に移動させる第１機構と、アームを第１方向に直交する鉛直方向に平行な第２方向に移動させる第２機構と、アームを第１方向及び第２方向のそれぞれに直交する第３方向に移動させる第３機構とを含み、アームは、先端部の向きが切り替え可能に構成され、第１方向に正対する対象物の第１対象面を掃除する場合と、第２方向に正対する対象物の第２対象面を掃除する場合とで、先端部の向きを切り替える制御部をさらに備える。【選択図】図１
