  • Patent number: 6115639
    Abstract: A remote control system for remotely controlling a legged moving robot has a robot manipulator operable by an operator seated on a seat assembly thereof for applying an operation command to the legged moving robot, the seat assembly having a seatback or a seat which is tiltable. A robot control unit on the legged moving robot controls the legged moving robot automatically to achieve a target orientation stably depending on the operation command from the robot manipulator. An orientation detector detects an orientation of the legged moving robot, and a tilting mechanism tilts the seatback or the seat depending on a deviation of the orientation of the legged moving robot detected by the orientation detector from the target orientation.
