Abstract
A robot apparatus includes a robot arm, a multi-fingered hand disposed at an end of the robot arm and including a force sensor for use in force control, an image processor that acquires at least location information on a gripping target by detection made by a visual sensor, and a control device that moves the robot arm on the basis of the at least location information on the gripping target acquired by the image processor to cause the multi-fingered hand to approach the gripping target, detects a contact location of actual contact with the gripping target on the basis of an output of the force sensor of the multi-fingered hand, and modifies the location information on the gripping target on the basis of information indicating the detected contact location.
