Provided is an industrial robot, wherein even a gate section is disposed between the industrial robot and a second disposing position where subjects to be transferred are disposed not to overlap in the vertical direction, interference between the hand and the gate section can be eliminated, while reducing the rotating radius of the hand with respect to the main body section. An industrial robot (1) is provided with a first hand (3), a second hand (4), an arm (5), and a main body section (6). The base end portion of the fist hand (3) and the base end portion of the second hand (4) are attached to the leading end portion of the arm (5) such that the base end portions overlap in the vertical direction. The first hand (3) and the second hand (4) can separately rotate with respect to the arm (5), and can rotate with respect to the arm (5), with a common rotating center (C1) at the center, when viewed from the vertical direction. Furthermore, the first hand (3) and the second hand (4) are formed such that the hands are bent when viewed from the vertical direction, and are substantially symmetrically formed with respect to a predetermined virtual line that passes the rotating center (C1) when viewed from the vertical direction.
