Provided is a braking device for a driving shaft, and the braking device includes: a brake ring coupled to the driving shaft in such a manner as to rotate according to rotation of the driving shaft and having one or more locking pieces with cross-shaped ends; a support frame fixed to an interior of a robot articulation; brake wings rotatable around brake shafts formed on the support frame and having locking protrusions adapted to stop the rotation of the driving shaft through physical interference with the cross-shaped ends of the locking pieces of the brake ring; position regulators adapted to rotate the brake wings to allow positions of the locking protrusions to be moved; and elastic members adapted to apply elastic forces to the brake wings rotating.
