Abstract

The height from floor surface contact ends of leg linkages 2 to shoulder joints of a biped robot 1 when the biped robot is in an upright posture is defined to be a value falling within a range (Havg±½σ) set based on an averaged value Havg obtained by averaging the heights of a group of objects (subject to operation) from the floor surface and the standard deviation σ thereof, specifically a value in a range of from approximately 700 mm to 1000 mm. By this, the installation height of shoulder joints from the floor surface can be optimally determined in accordance with the heights of the objects, thereby improving operating efficiency in an existing operating space.
