ABSTRACT:
In a traveling device according to the present invention, self-support and conveyance of the device by dragging are facilitated. Two wheels1L,1R are provided in parallel, and the wheels1L,1R are provided respectively with independent driving means (motors)2L,2R. The driving means2L,2R are connected by vehicle main bodies3U,3D divided into an upper side and a lower side. Further, casters32L,32R are provided on a rear side of the lower side vehicle main body3D via support portions31L,31R. The casters32L,32R are rotated freely by rotary shafts33L,33R including a bearing or the like. Further, the casters32L,32R are disposed such that a tangent linking the respective outer peripheries of the casters32L,32R to the wheels1L,1R forms a predetermined angle θd relative to a road surface. The angle θd is set to be larger than a maximum tilt (departure angle) within an assumed normal traveling range of the vehicle.
