Patent attributes
An inverted pendulum type vehicle having a tiltable rider mounting section includes a first travel operation unit and a second travel operation unit, which are disposed with an interval provided therebetween in the longitudinal direction and which are capable of traveling in all directions, and an operation device which outputs a turn command. In the case where the turn command is output from the operation device in a situation wherein at least the first travel operation unit is traveling in the longitudinal direction or at rest, the moving velocity of the ground contact point of the first travel operation unit and the moving velocity of the ground contact point of the second travel operation unit in the lateral direction of a rider are controlled to have velocities that are different from each other.
