Abstract
A device, a method and a program, by which a weight and a horizontal position of a gravity center of a load attached to a movable part of a robot can be estimated by a simple configuration. The device has: two torque sensors configured to detect a first torque applied to a first axis of a robot, and a second torque applied to a second axis of the robot; and a calculation section configured to calculate a weight and a horizontal position of a gravity center of a workpiece, by using two detection values of the torque sensors in one posture in which a hand attached to a movable part of the robot holds the workpiece.
