A haptic detection apparatus comprising: a capacitance-type load sensor that forms a plurality of capacitors by inserting the same number of specified-shape cylinders, each of which is composed of a viscoelastic body, as the number of a plurality of positive electrodes of a first electrode plate, respectively between the first electrode plate on which the plurality of positive electrodes are disposed in the same plane and in an array shape, and a second electrode plate on which a single negative electrode is disposed; a capacitance detection unit that detects capacitance of each of the capacitors which changes according to an external force applied to the second electrode plate of the load sensor; a distributed load measurement unit that measures a distributed load indicating a distribution of load applied to each of the cylinders on the basis of a change amount of the capacitance of each capacitor which is detected by the capacitance detection unit, characterized by a load information calculation unit that calculates a total load and a load center position of the external force applied to the second electrode plate of the load sensor on the basis of a relation between an expansion/contraction amount of each cylinder relative to the distributed load measured by the distributed load measurement unit and a pattern of the distributed load, wherein the load information calculation unit calculates an error compensation amount for an uneven load, which causes the load center position to become outside a center of the second electrode plate, on the basis of the total load of the external force applied to the second electrode plate of the load sensor, a ratio of the distributed load in an x-axis direction of the first electrode plate as a plane surface, and a ratio of the distributed load in a y-axis direction of the first electrode plate as the plane surface and calibrates and corrects the load center position on the basis of the error compensation amount. a capacitance-type load sensor that forms a plurality of capacitors by inserting the same number of specified-shape cylinders, each of which is composed of a viscoelastic body, as the number of a plurality of positive electrodes of a first electrode plate, respectively between the first electrode plate on which the plurality of positive electrodes are disposed in the same plane and in an array shape, and a second electrode plate on which a single negative electrode is disposed; a capacitance detection unit that detects capacitance of each of the capacitors which changes according to an external force applied to the second electrode plate of the load sensor; a distributed load measurement unit that measures a distributed load indicating a distribution of load applied to each of the cylinders on the basis of a change amount of the capacitance of each capacitor which is detected by the capacitance detection unit, characterized by a load information calculation unit that calculates a total load and a load center position of the external force applied to the second electrode plate of the load sensor on the basis of a relation between an expansion/contraction amount of each cylinder relative to the distributed load measured by the distributed load measurement unit and a pattern of the distributed load, wherein the load information calculation unit calculates an error compensation amount for an uneven load, which causes the load center position to become outside a center of the second electrode plate, on the basis of the total load of the external force applied to the second electrode plate of the load sensor, a ratio of the distributed load in an x-axis direction of the first electrode plate as a plane surface, and a ratio of the distributed load in a y-axis direction of the first electrode plate as the plane surface and calibrates and corrects the load center position on the basis of the error compensation amount.
