Abstract

A control apparatus is a control apparatus that controls a first manipulator including a detection acquisition unit that acquires information from a first detection unit detecting that at least one of a living organism and an object is located within a first range, a velocity acquisition unit that acquires a velocity of a second manipulator different from the first manipulator, and a control unit that controls a velocity of the first manipulator to be equal to or less than a first velocity, wherein the control unit controls the velocity of the first manipulator so that a relative velocity between the first manipulator and the second manipulator may be equal to or less than a second velocity when the detection acquisition unit acquires the information.
