The legged mobile robot the foot comprises a foot main body connected to
each leg, a toe provided at a fore end of the foot main body to be
bendable with respect to the foot main body, and a bending angle holder
capable of holding a bending angle of the toe in a bendable range of the
toe. In addition, a legged mobile robot control system is configured to
hold the bending angle of the toe at a first time point which is a
liftoff time of the leg from a floor or earlier thereof, and to release
the bending angle at a second time point after the leg has lifted off the
floor to restore the toe to a initial position. With this, the bending
angle at the time of liftoff can continue to be held after liftoff,
whereby the robot can be prevented from becoming unstable owing to the
toe contacting the floor immediately after liftoff. In addition,
stability during tiptoe standing can be enhanced.
