Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an attitude adjustment apparatus and method capable of adjusting attitude of a target object. An attitude adjustment apparatus includes a base part, a first part rotatably coupled to the base part, a second part fixedly coupled to a target object and rotatably coupled to the first part, and a controller adjusts an attitude of the target object by controlling the rotation of the first and second parts, wherein the base part and the first part include motors, which generate driving force, sensing portions, which generate a magnetic field and detects changes in the magnetic field, and targets, which are rotated by the driving force from the motors and include blades that change the generated magnetic field. The controller determines a rotation angle of the motors by referencing identification information of reference blades, among the blades, and sensing results from the sensing portions.
