Abstract
A robot control apparatus includes a controller configured to control a robot. The controller includes an operation control unit and a state estimation unit. The operation control unit is configured to cause the robot to operate along a first operation path. The state estimation unit is configured to estimate a state of the robot. When the state estimation unit detects collision with at least a part of the robot, the operation control unit is configured to acquire an avoidance operation path on which the robot would operate to mitigate energy of the collision. Upon acquiring the avoidance operation path, the operation control unit is configured to cause the robot to execute an avoidance operation along the avoidance operation path.
