An apparatus for a variable supporting foot of a robot includes a guide groove formed in a foot module of the robot and having an open end. A support plate is disposed in the guide groove and can slide out of the open end of the guide groove. A power conversion unit has one end connected to the support plate. A power generation member is connected to the other end of the power conversion unit, and has a portion at a lower end thereof that extends lower than a lower surface of the foot module. The power generation member generates a driving force as the foot module approaches the ground. The driving force is converted into a rotational motion and is transmitted to the support plate by the power conversion unit to cause the support plate to slide out of the guide groove of the foot module.
