An industrial robot is provided with the first hand, the second hand, the arm and the main unit section. The base end portion of the first hand and the base end portion of the second hand are joined to the front end portion of the arm such that they overlap with each other in the top-bottom direction. The first hand and the second hand are independently rotatable with respect to the arm and also rotatable about the common center of rotation with respect to the arm in the view from the top-bottom direction. Also, the first hand and the second hand are formed being bent in the view from the top-bottom direction, and also formed to have line symmetry about a predetermined imaginary line passing through the center of rotation in the view from the top-bottom direction.
