The utility model relates to the technical field of robots. The utility model discloses a pickup robot, and particularly discloses a pickup robot with a steering function. The device comprises a fixedbase and a mounting disc, the upper end of the mounting disc is connected with the bottom of the rotating shaft through a bearing, a driving motor used for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is mounted on the fixed base, a workpiece taking table is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the rotating shaft and detachably connected with a mounting base, and a clamping mechanism used for taking workpieces and a telescopic mechanism used for driving the clamping mechanism are arranged on the mounting base. The rotating shaft is driven by the driving motor to rotate so as to drive the workpiece taking table and the clamping mechanism on the workpiece taking table to achieve the steering function. And the telescopic mechanism is matched to drive the clamping mechanism to clamp and take the workpiece, a suction cup does not need to be adopted for sucking the workpiece, the problem that the stability of the clamping process is reduced due to the fact that an existing workpiece taking robot needs to adopt the suction cup for sucking the workpiece is solved, and then the manual labor intensity is reduced.
