PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skiing robot capable of controlling action by itself according to condition changes of a sliding surface, and stably skiing along a predetermined turn path. SOLUTION: The skiing robot has a body part, and right and left leg parts for supporting a load of the body part through right and left hip joints provided under the body part. In order to slide on a snow surface or the similar low friction slope, a pair of skis is installed to grounding surfaces of the leg parts of the skiing robot. Hip joint inward/outward rotating shafts for rotating the leg parts inward/outward are provided on the hip joints, and a measuring device capable of measuring the orientation or speed of the skiing robot during sliding is provided in any part of the skiing robot. The body part is provided with a controller. On the basis of detection amount from the measuring device, the controller can control the hip joint inward/outward rotating shafts.
