Abstract
A handling robot includes a first arm; a second arm; a first link having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a distal end portion of the first arm; a second link having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a distal end portion of the second arm; and a first holding finger for holding a workpiece. The first link and the second link are disposed at height positions different from each other in a vertical direction. Each of the first link and the second link has a shape including a portion curved in a direction opposite to a forward rotation direction for moving the first holding finger in plan view.

A handling robot which is provided in a transfer chamber of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus comprising:
- a first arm and a second arm, each having a proximal end portion coupled to a drive mechanism;
- a first link having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a distal end portion of the first arm;
- a second link having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to a distal end portion of the second arm;
- and
- a first holding finger for holding a workpiece,
- wherein each of a distal end portion of the first link and a distal end portion of the second link is rotatably connected to a proximal end portion of the first holding finger,
- the first link and the second link are disposed at height positions different from each other in a vertical direction,
- each of the first link and the second link has a shape including a portion curved in a direction opposite to a forward rotation direction for moving the first holding finger forward in plan view.
- a third link having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to the distal end portion of the first arm;
- a fourth link having a proximal end portion rotatably connected to the distal end portion of the second arm;
- and
- a second holding finger for holding a workpiece,
- wherein each of a distal end portion of the third link and a distal end portion of the fourth link is rotatably connected to a proximal end portion of the second holding finger,
- the third link and the fourth link are disposed at height positions different from each other in the vertical direction, and
- each of the third link and the fourth link has a shape including a portion curved in a direction opposite to a forward rotation direction for moving the second holding finger forward in plan view.
