body, a pair of steering wheels (5R, 5L) is disposed. The pair of spherical wheels (3) andthe pair of wheels (4) support most of the weight of the automatic guided vehicle (1) anddelivery goods, and the steering wheels (5R, 5L) mainly rotate on a floor surface in orderto set a direction of traveling. Each of the spherical wheels (3) is supported in such amanner as to be capable of freely changing its direction of rolling. A spherical wheelsensor (10) detects movement of a ball (9) of the spherical wheel (3), and a controller (11)measures a moving direction and an amount of movement of the automatic guidedvehicle (1).
