Abstract
A robot apparatus comprises: a robot body having a multi joint arm including a plurality of joints; a motor provided as a driving source of at least a part of the plurality of joints; and a controlling system capable of controlling the motor. The controlling system comprises a motion controlling unit configured to input a current to the motor to rotate the motor, a heat generation controlling unit configured to input the current to the motor to generate heat, without rotating the motor, and a controlling unit configured to calculate a temperature raising current necessary to rise up to a predetermined temperature without rotating the motor, to generate a current instruction for temperature raising to set the heat generation controlling unit to output the temperature raising current, and to transmit the current instruction for temperature raising to the heat generation controlling unit at stopping the robot body.
