Abstract
A biped ambulatory robot is provided having a structure in which the electrical storage device is arranged to reduce the load on the joints (particularly the knee joints) of the leg members of the robot and to enable easy maintenance of stability of the robot posture. The electrical storage device which is a power supply for operation of the robot is installed on the electrical storage device unit of the torso of the robot, such that the center of gravity A of the electrical storage device exists on the forward side from the center of gravity B of the robot when in a vertically-erect posture and with the electrical storage device removed. In a state in which the robot stands normally on the floor F with the knee joints of the leg members bent forward slightly, the center of gravity C of the entire robot including the electrical storage device exists substantially directly above the knee joints as seen from one side of the robot.
