Abstract
A control apparatus makes a robot hand grip a work for measurement. The control apparatus controls the operation of a robot arm so that the robot arm keeps a force of striking the work for measurement against a reference constant, while making the end portion of the robot arm rotate around the end axis, in a state of making the outer periphery Fof the work for measurement, which is gripped by the robot hand, strike against the reference jig. The control apparatus acquires a detection result detected by an encoder of each of the joints when the end portion of the robot arm has been rotated. The control apparatus calculates a correction amount of trajectory data based on eccentricity of a central axis with respect to an end axis, by using the detection result of the encoder, and corrects the trajectory data, based on the correction amount.
