1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an inverted pendulum type vehicle capable of traveling on a floor surface.
2. Description of the Related Art
There has conventionally been known an inverted pendulum type vehicle in which a rider mounting section tiltable relative to the vertical direction is attached to a base body, to which a travel operation unit that travels on a floor surface and an actuator that drives the travel operation unit are installed (refer to, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-068165).
A rider of the inverted pendulum type vehicle moves the vehicle by moving his/her weight or by operating an operation unit, such as a joystick. It requires, however, a certain level of skill to move the inverted pendulum type vehicle exactly as the rider intends. Hence, it has been difficult for a beginner, who is not experienced with the operation, to operate the inverted pendulum type vehicle as he or she intends.
