An image capturing unit installed independently of the mobile body captures an image of a region including the movement path along which the mobile body moves. An image receiving unit receives the image via a communication line. An image processing unit creates a navigation image on which markers representing the movement path and the motion of the mobile body are superimposed. A mobile body position checking unit detects the positions in which the markers are superimposed on the mobile body and checks the position of the mobile body. An action command transmitting unit transmits an action command generated by an action command generating unit to a communication unit installed in the mobile body.

A walking pattern forming device for allowing a biped locomotion robot apparatus having a parallel-link mechanism to perform a stable biped locomotion. A target zero-moment point is set for the leg portion of a robot. The moment compensation trajectory of the waist portion is computed according to the set target zero-moment point. The position of the leg portion when viewed from the waist coordinate system is computed from the origin of the waste coordinate system in an absolute coordinate system and the origin of the leg coordinate system in the absolute coordinate system. The rotation matrix representing the posture of the origin of the leg coordinate system of when viewed from the waste coordinate system is computed from the rotation matrix representing the posture of the leg coordinate system when viewed from the absolute coordinate system and the rotation matrix representing the posture of the waste coordinate system when viewed from the absolute coordinate system. The posture of the leg portion is computed from the rotation matrix representing the posture of the origin of the leg coordinate system.
