Remote control device of bipedal mobile robot
First Claim
1. A remote control device of a bipedal mobile robot moving by an action to alternately lift and land two legs, comprising:
- a manipulator lever for commanding a moving direction of the bipedal mobile robot;
moving amount setting means for counting a number of times that the manipulator lever is operated from a non-manipulation state to a manipulation state corresponding to a desired direction of the bipedal mobile robot until predetermined manipulation completing conditions are satisfied in a stopped state of the bipedal mobile robot and setting the moving amount of the bipedal mobile robot in the desired direction in correspondence with the counted number; and
movement control means for making the bipedal mobile robot to move toward the desired moving direction according to the set moving amount.

Abstract
When an operator attempts to move a robot from a current position to a desired position, she/he operates a manipulator lever (26) corresponding to a desired direction of a manipulator (23) of a remote control device (22), for example, a number of times corresponding to a predetermined moving amount in the moving direction. At this point, the moving amount for each moving direction depending on this number of operations is set, and a leg of the robot is actuated according to a setting value of the moving amount for each moving direction to move the robot. The moving amount that can be set by the operation of the manipulator lever (26) has a relatively small moving amount that the robot may be moved by performing a lifting/landing action once for each of the legs of the robot, and a relatively large moving amount requiring multiple walking steps of the lifting/landing action for each leg of the robot.

3. A remote control device of a bipedal mobile robot moving by an action to alternately lift and land two legs, comprising:
-
a manipulator lever for commanding the moving direction of the bipedal mobile robot;
moving amount setting means for clocking a time the manipulator lever is continuously maintained in a manipulation state corresponding to a desired direction of the bipedal mobile robot after a non-manipulation state until predetermined manipulation completing conditions are satisfied in a stopped state of the bipedal mobile robot, and setting a moving amount of the bipedal mobile robot toward the desired moving direction depending on the clocked time; and
movement control means for making the bipedal mobile robot move toward the desired moving direction according to the set moving amount. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 14, 16, 17, 20, 22)

7. A remote control device of a bipedal mobile robot moving by an action to alternately lift and land two legs, comprising:
-
a first manipulator lever having a manipulation state and a non-manipulation state commanding a moving direction of the bipedal mobile robot;
a second manipulator lever that can variably be operated in response to a manipulation amount depending on a desired moving amount of the bipedal mobile robot and be maintained in a voluntary manipulation amount condition;
moving amount setting means for setting the moving amount of the bipedal mobile robot toward the desired moving direction depending on the manipulation amount of the second manipulator lever, when the first manipulator lever is operated into the manipulation state corresponding to the desired moving direction in a condition that the second manipulator lever is operated by the desired manipulation amount during a stopped state of the bipedal mobile robot; and
movement control means for making the bipedal mobile robot move toward the desired moving direction by the set moving amount. - View Dependent Claims (8, 15, 18, 19, 21, 23)
