To achieve harmonization between manual operation by an operator and automatic operation by a lever operation robot.SOLUTION: A lever operation robot comprises at least one operation part which is so configured as to be movable on a locus along a movable direction of at least one operation lever of an industrial vehicle, and a drive part which is so configured as to move the operation part. The drive part moves the operation part between a retreat position on the locus becoming non-contact with the operation lever so as to release the operation lever at a neutral position and an operation position on the locus contacting with the operation lever so as to push the operation lever in the movable direction from the neutral position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】オペレータによる手動操作とレバー操作ロボットによる自動操作との調和を図る。【解決手段】レバー操作ロボットは、産業車両の少なくとも一つの操作レバーの可動方向に沿った軌跡上で移動可能に構成された少なくとも一つの操作部と、操作部を移動させるように構成された駆動部と、を備える。駆動部は、操作レバーを中立位置で解放するように操作レバーと非接触となる軌跡上の退避位置と、操作レバーを中立位置から可動方向に押し込むように操作レバーに接触する軌跡上の操作位置と、の間で操作部を移動させるように構成される。【選択図】 図１
