Abstract

See full text

A robot has a plurality of limbs with joints; a driving section for driving the joints periodically to form periodic movements on a floor by means of the plural limbs; and a controller capable of performing various operations. The operations include detecting over time floor reaction forces received through the plural limbs contacting the floor during the periodic movement; deriving a center position of the floor reaction forces received from ground contacting limbs during movement and a change in the center position over time; calculating desired angles of the plural joints directly based on the derived current center position, without deriving a desired center position indicating the center position at a future time, controlling the plural joints based on the calculated desired angles; and driving the robot with the controlled plural joints.
