Abstract
A robot apparatus having no need for securing a space for installing both a robot movable section and a robot controller. The robot apparatus includes a frame having strength enough to support the robot movable section, and containing the robot controller therein. The robot movable section is installed on the frame. The robot controller and the robot movable section are electrically connected to each other via a coupling cable passing through a hole formed inside. Over the base of the robot movable section, first, second and another arms are provided via rotating mechanism portions. The distal end of the third arm constitutes a wrist portion of a robot. Various types of hands are attached to this wrist portion. Thus, the robot movable section can be installed on the frame containing the robot controller.
