Abstract

A robot apparatus includes a rectangular wave generating portion arranged on the output side of a speed reducer, and configured to generate first output pulse signals upon driving of a joint. A control portion includes calculating portions and a motor control portion. The motor control portion estimates an estimated joint angle using input pulse signals, and controls to operate a servo motor so that this estimated joint angle matches a target joint angle. The calculating portions calculate a torsion angle of the joint corresponding to a deviation amount between the first output pulse signals and a pulse waveform of an ideal state. The motor control portion controls to operate the servo motor so as to correct the estimated joint angle by the torsion angle.
