Robot control apparatus and robot system

Abstract

Provided is a robot control apparatus capable of ascertaining at least one of the width, depth, or height of an object to be conveyed, by using at least two holding force values. The robot control apparatus controls an operation of a robot that has a robot hand provided with at least two sensors, each measuring a holding force, and that uses the robot hand to hold an object placed at a first location and place the object at a second location. The robot control apparatus is provided with at least one processor and at least one storage device capable of storing a program to be executed. The at least one processor determines at least one of the width, depth, or height of the object by using at least two holding force values measured by the at least two sensors, on the basis of the program.
