A multi-joint manipulator enabling an easy teaching method and an increase in the operating speed of arms, and capable of mounting a heavy object in a small space. The multi-joint manipulator comprises a plurality of arm bodies installed in series, joint parts rotatably connecting the adjacent two arm bodies to each other, joint parts with the rotating shafts of adjacent joints tilted by 90°, at least one line body disposed at the joint parts coaxially with the rotating shafts, and joint parts formed of servo-motors and reduction gear mechanisms. The servo-motors and the reduction gear mechanisms are positioned coaxially with the rotating shafts of the joints. Manipulateur à articulations multiples permettant de mettre en oeuvre un procédé d'apprentissage facile et d'augmenter la vitesse de fonctionnement des bras, et capable d'assurer le montage d'un objet lourd dans un espace restreint. Ce manipulateur comprend plusieurs corps de bras installés en série, des articulations reliant rotatifs les deux corps de bras adjacents entre eux, des articulations ayant les arbres rotatifs d'articulations adjacentes inclinés de 90°, au moins un corps de ligne se trouvant aux articulations en position coaxiale avec les arbres rotatifs, et des articulations constituées de servomoteurs et de mécanismes à engrenages de réduction, lesquels (servomoteurs et engrenages) sont en position coaxiale avec les arbres rotatifs des articulations.
