Abstract: A path planning method and a biped robot using the same are provided. The method includes: generating a candidate node set for a next foot placement based on a biped robot's own parameters and joint information of a current node, adding valid candidate nodes in the candidate node set to a priority queue so as to select optimal nodes for realizing next node expansion. These optimal nodes are output to generate a foot placement sequence from an initial node to a target node, which can greatly reduce the search amount for path nodes when the robot's legs intersect and touch the ground, thereby improving the efficiency of path planning.
