PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging apparatus which can charge a battery built in a robot while stably keeping a stationary state of the robot in the state that the robot is standing by means of a plurality of its legs. SOLUTION: When a first connector 12 is still connected to a second connector 22 though the first connector 12 has been driven so as to recede, the base body P0 of the robot 2 is tilted by being pulled by the first connector 12. However, the instability of the posture of the robot 2 can be avoided by utilizing the fact that the connected state of a first signal terminal 124 and a second signal terminal 224 is still kept in this state. In other words, the drive for receding the first connector 12 can be restricted in the state that a charge control portion 11 can communicate with a control system 21 via the first signal terminal 124 and the second signal terminal 224. Therefore, the instability of the posture of the robot 2 caused by the unconditionally receding drive of the first connector 12 can be avoided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
