Abstract: A device for controlling a robotic arm (1) is disclosed, comprising at least two branches (2, 3) connected to each other by an articulation and coupled to a support (4), each having an actuator (8) controlled by a controller, wherein either the branches (2, 3) are elastically flexible or the drive connection to the actuator (8) is elastically flexible. According to the invention, advantageous control conditions can be achieved by the controller for the actuators (8) of the branches (2, 3) each comprising a regulating stage (10) provided by a sensor (12, 22) with signals for the load either on the corresponding elastically flexible branch (2, 3) or the elastically flexible actuator (8), which may be controlled along the movement path thereof depending on the position of the bearing (5, 7) supporting the branch (2, 3).
