PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that an appearance of a conventional simplified walking robot developed as a toy is not attractive even though advanced techniques are necessary to perform special calculation for making stable walking of a two-leg walking robot by using gyroscopes and sensors. SOLUTION: A large-friction section and a small-friction section are provided on a sole of each leg for stable walking, and a section of each leg getting in contact with a floor face is switched by rotating the sole of each leg. When carrying the legs, the sole of each leg is slid on the floor by making the sole of each leg small in friction. The other leg is set to catch the floor face while the sole of the leg is kept in the large-friction state. Thus, the robot can walk while both legs can always touch on the floor face, the walking of the robot is stabilized, and stable and attractive walking of the robot is possible without using the gyroscope or the like.
