Abstract
A robot apparatus includes: a door opening/closing robot and a controller. The door opening/closing robot includes a base, a first arm, a second arm, a third arm, and a fourth arm. The door opening/closing robot is disposed between a side surface of the vehicle body and a booth side wall. The controller sequentially performs a door opening control for controlling the door opening/closing robot such that a tool opens a door at an upstream side of a first axis in a direction of a conveyance line, a door following control for controlling the door opening/closing robot such that an opened state of the door is maintained while the vehicle body is being conveyed along the conveyance line, and a door closing control for controlling the door opening/closing robot such that the tool closes the door at a downstream side of the first axis in the direction of the conveyance line.
