Abstract

A force detection apparatus includes a first member, a second member, and a third member, the second member and the first member sandwich a plurality of piezoelectric elements (in a narrow sense, a first piezoelectric element and a second piezoelectric element), and the third member and the first member sandwich a plurality of piezoelectric elements (in a narrow sense, a third piezoelectric element and a fourth piezoelectric element) different from the plurality of piezoelectric elements sandwiched by the second member and the first member.
