<p>A double arm robot having double arms vertically movable independent of each other, having a compact column achieved by controlling the distance between upper and lower support members to an appropriate range, having a reduced installation area and swing radius, and in which adverse effect to a workpiece by operation of the upper and lower members is minimized. The double arm robot (1) has two support members (101, 102) for individually supporting two multi-joint arms arranged in a top-bottom relationship and also has a movement mechanism (11) for connecting the two support members so that they are independently movable in the top-bottom direction along the column (12). When either or both of the two support members (101, 102) move up and down, the distance between the two support members (101, 102) in the top-bottom direction is increased, and when the distance reaches a first predetermined value, the up-down movement of the two support members (101, 102) is stopped.</p> |
