ABSTRACT:
A robot apparatus is provided for supplying parts to a work conveyor line and assemblying the parts to a work conveyed along the conveyor line. The robot apparatus has a plurality of manipulators and a manipulator support for supporting the manipulators so that each manipulator is movable in a direction perpendicular to the work conveyor line and so that the manipulators protrude from the manipulator support in directions opposite to one another. The movable support of the manipulators enlarges the area accessible to the manipulators in the direction perpendicular to the conveyor line, and the opposite protrusion of the manipulators prevents interference of the manipulators.
