A robotic device is presented. The robotic device comprises a stationary base, a first arm rotationally mounted on the base for rotation about a first axis (I), a second arm rotationally mounted on the first arm for rotation about a second axis (II), in which second axis (II) is parallel to the first axis (I), a first driving device for driving the first arm to rotate about the first axis (I), and a second arm drive unit with a second driving device for driving the second arm to rotate about the second axis (I). The first driving device and the second driving devices are mounted stationary at the base. A linear drive unit moves the first arm and the second arm in a direction parallel to the first axis (I) and the second axis (II). The linear drive unit comprises a third driving device mounted stationary at the base.
