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.

Abstract
A system for controlling a bipedal robot via a communication device. The system acquires a mapping data and a current location of the bipedal robot via a Global Positioning System (GPS), determines a route on the mapping data, and directs movement of the bipedal robot until it reaches a preset destination. A method for controlling the robot and a storage device containing computer instructions for execution of the method are also provided.
