A hand as an end effector. The hand includes a base, a hook element associated with the base and capable of hooking and lifting an object, a holding element associated with the base and cooperating with the hook element to hold the object therebetween, and a drive section causing a relative movement between the hook element and the holding element. For example, the hook element is arranged movably in a direction toward and away from the holding element on the base, and the drive section drives the hook element. Alternatively, the holding element is arranged movably in a direction toward and away from the hook element on the base, and the drive section drives the holding element. A handling robot includes an arm and the above-described hand attached to the arm.
