Abstract
A life prediction apparatus is configured to accurately predict a life of a cable wired at a joint part of a robot. The life prediction apparatus includes a fatigue-level estimation unit for estimating a fatigue level of the cable based on encoder information of an actuator which moves the joint part of the robot, and a life prediction unit for predicting the life of the cable based on a fatigue level of the cable estimated by the fatigue-level estimation unit and an allowable value of the cable.
