BIPEDAL ROBOT WITH STORAGE BATTERY
First Claim
1. A bipedal robot with a storage battery comprising:
- a trunk including an upper trunk having shoulders at right and left sides thereof and a lower trunk positioned below the upper trunk, the upper trunk and the lower trunk being mounted rotatably relative to one another about a vertical rotation axis;
two legs extending downward from a lower end of the lower trunk;
two arms extending from the shoulders of the upper trunk;
a head provided on an upper end of the upper trunk; and
a storage battery mounted on a back surface of the upper trunk, the storage battery being positioned below a top of the head in a region within a shoulder width of the trunk;
wherein the storage battery comprises a plurality of cells and a case in which the cells are accommodated, the case having a first vertical wall and a second vertical wall opposite to the first vertical wall, the first vertical wall being flat, the second vertical wall being non-planar and having at least one protruded portion projecting in a direction away from the first vertical wall, the protruded portion receiving therein at least one of the cells.

Abstract
A bipedal robot of the present invention has a trunk consisting of an upper trunk and a lower trunk which are rotatable around a rotation axis relative to one another. The upper trunk has shoulders on the right and left sides. An arm is provided at each shoulder. A pair of right and left legs is attached to lower ends of the lower trunk. A storage battery is mounted to the back of the upper trunk, positioned within a shoulder width. The storage battery is positioned below the top of a head mounted on the upper trunk. When the robot walks a narrow passage or corridor having a width slightly larger than the width thereof, for example, this arrangement prevents the storage battery from interfering with the passage or the like.
