The present invention provides a biped (two-footed) walking mobile system, its
walk controller, and walk control method therefore, which are to realize enhancing
an walk stability, as well as a consumed energy saving. A walk controller (30)
of a biped walking mobile system forms a gait data by a gait forming part (33)
based on parameters from a gait stabilizing part (32), and drive-controls
drive means of respective joint portions (15L, 15R-20L, 20R)
of each leg portion based on said gait data. In this case, the walk controller
(30) is so constituted as to selectively witch a powered mode to conduct
ordinary drive-control and a passive mode to drive-control the drive means similarly
with passive joints, whereby drive-controlling respective joint portions. The walk
controller (30) preferably switches the drive and passive modes with respect
to, for example, joint portions of knee and foot portions, or switches to the powered
mode for kick-up and landing during walking motion, and to the passive mode for
a free foot state.
