BIPEDAL ROBOT WITH STORAGE BATTERY

WIPO Patent Application WO2002030631

A3

A bipedal robot (1) of the present invention has a trunk (2) consisting of an upper trunk (6) and a lower trunk (7) which are rotatable around a rotation axis (12) relative to one another. The upper trunk has shoulders (13) on the right and left sides. An arm (4) is provided at each shoulder. A pair of right and left legs (3) is attached to lower ends of the lower trunk. A storage battery (30) is mounted to the back of the upper trunk, positioned within a shoulder width (W). The storage battery is positioned below the top of a head (5) mounted on the upper trunk. When the robot walks a narrow passage or corridor having a width slightly larger than the width thereof, for example, this arrangement prevents the storage battery from interfering with the passage or the like.
