Self-balancing driverless transport vehicle

A driverless transportation vehicle for piece goods, the transportation vehicle comprising:

• a chassis with at least two wheels arranged on an axle;
• a traction drive for driving said at least two wheels;
• a load transfer device having a load transfer drive, said load transfer device being configured to receive an item of cargo and to shift a center of mass thereof on the driverless transportation vehicle;
• a control system configured to control said traction drive so that a tilting of the transportation vehicle about said axle of said chassis is prevented while the transportation vehicle balances only on said at least two wheels, said control system being configured to control said load transfer drive so that a position of the center of mass of said item of piece goods is adapted for a driving maneuver to be carried out;
• and
• a support wheel system configured to ensure a stable stance of the driverless transportation vehicle, and when said support wheel system is extended, said control system is configured to activate said traction drive in a non-balancing mode.
