A motor control apparatus includes an error calculation unit which calculates an error between a position of a movable unit and a position of a driven unit, a memory unit which memorizes the error in association with a torque command value as an initial error, and a compensation amountcompensation amount calculation unit which calculates a compensation amountcompensation amount for compensating an elastic deformation amount of an elastic factor between the movable unit and the driven unit. The compensation amountcompensation amount calculation unit calculates the compensation amountcompensation amount based on the initial error held by the memory unit, the torque command value held in association with the initial error, and a torque command value calculated by a torque command calculation unit when a motor rotates reversely.

A robot control device includes a correction amount calculation unit that calculates a correction amount for collecting a deviation of a tip position of a tool attached to a tip of a robot due to an external force applied to the tool and a correction profile generation unit that generates a correction profile indicating a relationship between the correction amount calculated by the correction amount calculation unit and time.

A motor control apparatus includes a error calculation unit which calculates a error between a first position detection value of a movable part and a second position detection value of a driven part, a storage unit which stores the errors when the movable part engages with the driven part in a first and second drive direction, as a first initial error and a second initial error, respectively, and a compensation calculation unit which calculates the amount of compensation to correct backlash and an elastic deformation. The compensation calculation unit calculates a command error based on the first initial error and the second initial error and a predetermined constant which is larger than 0 and not greater than 1 and calculates the amount of compensation by subtracting the current error calculated by the error calculation unit from the command error.
