A robot control apparatus includes a section setter to set, on a straight line connecting a start point to an end point, an acceleration section until reaching a predetermined angular velocity, a constant velocity section in which the predetermined angular velocity is maintained, and a deceleration section in which the predetermined angular velocity is decreased, a segment setter to divide each of the acceleration section, the constant velocity section, and the deceleration section into segments and to set segment distances of each of the acceleration section, the constant velocity section, and the deceleration section so as to equalize or substantially equalize moving times of the segments of the reference point to each other, and an angular velocity setter to set, when the reference point is moved in each of the segments according to point to point control, an angular velocity of each of the segments based on a variance in angle that becomes maximum with respect to each of the segments in each of the acceleration section, the constant velocity section, and the deceleration section.
