A robot calibrating apparatus calibrating a command value for a robot bodywhose position and orientation is controlled based on the command value, includes an operating unit configured to calculate a calibrating function of calibrating the command value, based on the difference between an ideal position and orientation of the robot bodyand an actual position and orientation of the robot body. The ideal position and orientation is operated based on a command valueHfor calibration used during calibration or on a control result value which is a result of control according to the command value. The actual position and orientation is operated based on a measurement valueHfor calibration acquired by a cameraarranged at a prescribed relative position and orientation with respect to the robot bodyduring the robot bodybeing controlled according to the command value for calibration.
