Abstract

The robotics apparatus includes an f1-actuator for driving a first link, an f2-actuator for driving a second link, an actuator for simultaneously driving both links, and a CPU for controlling those actuators. The CPU sets a driving-force command value to an e3-actuator to a predetermined set value. Moreover, the CPU calculates a driving-force command value to the f1-actuator based on the driving-force command value and a target joint angle for a first joint. The CPU calculates a driving-force command value to the f2-actuator and a target joint angle for a second joint. It achieves a control for allowing a distal end of a second link to track a target trajectory and stiffness control at the distal end of the second link with a smaller number of driving sources than that of a conventional 3-pair 6-muscle manipulator.
