A method of operating a robot includes assuming a resting pose of the robot on a surface. The robot includes an inverted pendulum body, a counter-balance body disposed on the inverted pendulum body and configured to move relative to the inverted pendulum body, at least one arm connected to the inverted pendulum body and configured to move relative to the inverted pendulum body, at least one leg prismatically coupled to the inverted pendulum body, and a drive wheel rotatably coupled to the at least one leg. The method also includes moving from the resting pose to a sitting pose by moving the counter-balance body relative to the inverted pendulum body away from the ground surface to position a center of mass of the robot substantially over the drive wheel. The method also includes moving from the sitting pose to a standing pose by altering a length of the at least one leg.
