A locomotion control system is constructed to input the quantity of materials in the real world, such as the quantity of motion state of a robot, external force and external moment, and environmental shapes, measured with sensors or the like. By integrating all calculations for maintaining a balance of the body into a single walking-pattern calculating operation, both a locomotion generating function and an adaptive control function are effectively served, the consistency of dynamic models is ensured, and interference between the dynamic models is eliminated. Calculations for generating a walking pattern of the robot can be performed in an actual apparatus and in real time in a manner in which parameters, such as a boundary condition concerning the quantity of motion state, external force and external moment, and the trajectory of the sole, are settable.
