In a legged mobile robot having an electric motor installed at a location
between a foot and each leg to drive the ankle joint, a force sensor
installed at the location between the foot and each leg to detect a floor
reaction force acting from a floor surface on which the foot lands, and a
cushioning member attached to the foot sole to cushioning impact that
occurs when the foot lands on the floor surface, conductive members are
disposed in depressions formed at the cushioning member, such that the
conductive members contact the floor surface when the cushioning member
contracts, thereby discharging and removing static electric charge
electrified on the foot.
