A method to control a robot apparatus to manufacture an article, wherein the robot apparatus includes an articulated robot, including a plurality of joints, and a vibration measuring apparatus configured to measure vibrations of a predetermined portion of the articulated robot, wherein the vibration measuring apparatus and a detector are disposed at each of the plurality of joints, the method comprising:
- moving, by a controller, the articulated robot and subsequently stopping the articulated robot at a target position;
- causing, by the controller, the vibration measuring apparatus to calculate vibrations by using positional information about a joint to be obtained by the detector disposed at each of the plurality of joints after stopping the articulated robot;
- obtaining, by the controller and after stopping the articulated robot at the target position, a time until the vibrations converge;
- transmitting the obtained time to a storage unit;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, the robot to manufacture an article after the time until the vibrations converge elapses.
