Abstract
A robot apparatus includes a robot arm and a held-state detector. The robot arm includes a first holder configured to hold a to-be-held object. The held-state detector is coupled to the robot arm and is configured to detect a held state of the to-be-held object held by the first holder while the robot arm is transferring the to-be-held object.
