A legged robot, wherein an electric motor 88 for driving a joint 10R
connecting a body and each leg 2R is disposed on the leg side and is disposed
with an offset from the rotation axis of the joint. Further, a motor attachment
member 86 for housing the electric motor 88 is perforated with an
opening part at a location facing the body. By this, attachment/detachment of the
leg of the robot is made easy to improve its ease of maintenance. Further, the
power transmission means for transmitting drive force from the drive source to
the joint connecting the body and the leg can be readily accessed. In addition,
the leg can be rotated to a desired angle to facilitate swing operation and the like.
