[0049] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

The calf drive unit 32 is installed on the thigh body 21 and is used to drive the calf body 31 to move around the thigh body 21.

[0052] The auxiliary leg assembly 4 includes an auxiliary leg body 41, an auxiliary leg drive unit 42, and an auxiliary leg movement unit 43. The upper joint of the auxiliary leg body 41 is mounted on the thigh body 21, and the auxiliary leg movement unit 43 is provided on the lower joint of the auxiliary leg body 41. The auxiliary leg drive unit 42 is mounted on the thigh body 21 and is used for the auxiliary leg body 41 to move around the thigh body 21.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the robot's lower limbs generally include two thigh components 2, two lower leg components 3, and at least one auxiliary leg component 4, that is, after removing the auxiliary leg component 4, it is a bipedal design. For bipedal robots, the ease of falling is an unavoidable technical problem in the field. In addition to the two lower leg components 3 that contact the ground, this application innovatively adds at least one auxiliary leg component 4 that contacts the ground. Generally, two auxiliary leg components 4 can be used, corresponding to the number of lower leg components 3.
