A robot is disclosed in which load torque imposed on motors is reduced and therefore small-sized motors can be used. In the robot, an arm member, a first link, a second link and a third link constitute a parallel linkage, and the first link and the third link are coaxially pivotally supported on a base. With a pivotal shaft for pivotally connecting the second link and the third link, one end of a fourth link having shorter link length than the link length of the third link is pivotally connected to the second and third links and one end of a fifth link having the same link length as that of the fourth link is pivotally connected to the other end of the fourth link. The other end of the fifth link is pivotally supported on the base with a pivotal shaft to which the rotary shaft of the motor is coupled, so that the fifth link can move according to the rotation of the motor.
