ABSTRACT:
A miniaturized articulated manipulator20has a first arm member31A internally provided with two driving motors33and34, and a second arm member30B not provided with any devices corresponding to the driving motors33and34and capable of being miniaturized. The driving motors33and34can be disposed in common areas135at least partially overlapping each other with respect to a direction parallel to the axis of the first arm member30A and can be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis. Thus the first arm member30A can be formed in a small axial size. Thus the first arm30A and the second arm30B can be miniaturized and hence the articulated manipulator20can be formed in a short overall length.
