Original Abstract Submitted
The present technology pertains to a mobile object configured so that a mobile object which performs multi-leg movement can stably move. The mobile object includes a body, a front left leg having a front left wheel, a front middle leg having a front middle wheel, a front right leg having a front right wheel, a rear left leg having a rear left wheel, a rear middle leg having a rear middle wheel, a rear right leg having a rear right wheel, and an operation control unit, the mobile object further including at least one of: a combination in which the left and right front wheels are drive wheels driven by the operation control unit, and the rear middle wheel is an omnidirectional wheel; or a combination in which the left and right rear wheels are drive wheels driven by the operation control unit, and the front middle wheel is an omnidirectional wheel. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a mobile object that transports a cargo.
