PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a humanoid robot allowing a person interacting therewith to receive an impression that the humanoid robot is like a human more than conventional one is, with an associated feeling of friendliness coming up.SOLUTION: A humanoid robot comprises a head part pivotally supported by a base member 21 in a manner rotatable about an axis of a first shaft member 31 extending horizontally. The base member 21 is pivotally supported by a head support frame 23 in a manner rotatable about an axis of a second shaft member extending vertically. A first electric motor 55 is supported by the base member 21, and rotates the head part relatively to the base member 21 about the axis of the first shaft member 31. A second electric motor 105 is supported by the head support frame 23, and rotates the base member 21 relatively to the head support frame 23 about the axis of the second shaft member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】人型ロボットに接したとき、人型ロボットに対してより人間に近い印象を受け親近感が湧く人型ロボットを提供すること。【解決手段】水平方向に延びる第一軸部材３１の軸芯回りに頭部が回動可能に基部材２１に軸支される。上下方向に延びる第二軸部材の軸芯回りに基部材２１が回動可能に頭部支持フレーム２３に軸支される。基部材２１に対して頭部を第一軸部材３１の軸芯回りに相対回動させる第一電動モータ５５が基部材２１によって支持される。頭部支持フレーム２３に対して基部材２１を第二軸部材の軸芯回りに相対回動させる第二電動モータ１０５が頭部支持フレーム２３によって支持される。【選択図】図７
