Abstract: This vehicle comprises a first dynamo-electric machine that imparts torque to a first drive wheel, a second dynamo-electric machine that applies torque to a second drive wheel, a rotation speed sensor that acquires a first rotation speed of the first drive wheel, a rotation speed sensor that acquires a second rotation speed of the second drive wheel, and a control device. The control device includes a basic setting unit that sets a basic rotation speed, a differential setting unit that sets a differential rotation speed, and an action control unit that controls the operation of the first dynamo-electric machine and the second dynamo-electric machine so that an average value of the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed becomes the basic rotation speed, and a difference between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed reaches the differential rotation speed.

Abstract: A mobile object includes: a first braking/driving torque application unit that applies first braking/driving torque to a right driving wheel; a second braking/driving torque application unit that applies second braking/driving torque to a left driving wheel; a right driven wheel and a left driven wheel each of which is constituted of a caster wheel; and a control unit that controls the first braking/driving torque application unit and the second braking/driving torque application unit. Moreover, the control unit is configured to perform turning, advancing/reversing and braking of the mobile object by controlling the first braking/driving torque and the second braking/driving torque or by controlling rotational speed of the right driving wheel and rotational speed of the left driving wheel.
