Abstract
An electric power steering apparatus including: a steering torque detector to detect a steering torque of a driver; a motor to assist a steering force of the driver; an estimated speed calculator to calculate an estimated speed, which is an estimated value of a rotation speed of the motor; an estimated speed corrector to correct the estimated speed based on the steering torque; an estimated angle calculator to calculate an estimated angle of the motor by integrating the estimated speed after the correction; and an electric power supply to supply electric power to the motor based on the estimated angle, wherein the estimated speed corrector corrects the estimated speed when a determination signal, which is based on a value obtained by removing a frequency component of steering of the driver from a derivative of the steering torque, the steering torque, and the estimated speed have the same signs.
