1. A system for controlling a bipedal robot via a communication device embodied in the bipedal robot, the system comprising:

  • a configuration module configured for receiving and setting a destination location of the bipedal robot;

    an acquisition module configured for acquiring mapping data indicative of surrounding areas of the bipedal robot including surrounding areas between a current location of the bipedal robot and the destination location of the bipedal robot, wherein the current location of the bipedal robot is determined through use of a Global Positioning System (GPS) embodied in the communication device;

    a calculation module configured for determining a route from the current location to the destination location according to the mapping data, and determining contact surfaces upon which the bipedal robot steps according to the route; and

    a control module configured for directing the bipedal robot to move step-by-step from the current location to the destination location according to the determined contact surfaces and according to the determined route.
