To provide a casting manipulator equipped with a device that can control the translational movement of a grasped material separately from the rotational movement of the grasped material based on the tensile power of multiple line-shaped flexible links or a single line-shaped flexible link by making the connection unit of the links and grasped material movable to the gravitational center position.

In a casting manipulator designed to project a grasped material 12 onto the target object 13 and to hold and collect the target object, one end of the line-shaped flexible link, which is twisted around an extension/winding mechanism, is connected to the grasped material, and the translational and rotational movements of the projected grasped material in the air are made controllable simultaneously, or only the translational movement of grasped material in the air is made controllable, due to the tensile power of the line-shaped flexible link.
