Abstract: An industrial robot with parallel kinematics comprises a robot base, a carrier element for receiving a gripper, a tool or a machine element, at least two moveable actuating units, which are connected at their one end to actuating unit drives arranged on the robot base and of which the other ends are moveably connected to the carrier element, a first rotational axis, which is designed as a hollow body and which has a continuous cavity running in the axial direction, a first rotational axis drive, which is arranged on the robot base and which generates a first torque and transmits it to the first rotational axis, a second rotational axis, which is arranged at least partially in the first rotational axis, a second rotational axis drive, which is arranged on the robot base and which generates a second torque and transmits it to the second rotational axis.
