Abstract
Provided is a conveyance apparatus that includes: a lifting mechanism raisable upward and lowerable downward, lifts an object to be conveyed, by bringing the lifting mechanism into contact with the object to be conveyed and raising the lifting mechanism, and moves in a state in which the object to be conveyed is lifted. The conveyance apparatus includes: a plurality of load sensors that is provided in the lifting mechanism and each detects a load received by coming into contact with the object to be conveyed; a calculation section that calculates a center-of-gravity position of the object to be conveyed, based on a distribution of a plurality of the loads that has been detected; and a control section that causes the conveyance apparatus to move to a position, at which the object to be conveyed is liftable at the calculated center-of-gravity position, and causes the lifting mechanism to be raised.
