Abstract
The moving mechanism is capable of separating an orientation of a vehicle body from a traveling direction. In addition, the moving mechanism has a low center of gravity and is capable of reducing its weight. A moving body includes a vehicle body, steering actuators, right and left steering hubs, vehicle wheel actuators, and vehicle wheels. The steering actuators are disposed on the right and left sides of the vehicle body and drivable around a vertical axis. The right and left steering hubs are driven by the steering actuators. The vehicle wheel actuators are fixed to the steering hubs. The vehicle wheels are driven by the vehicle wheel actuators and are disposed in an inclined manner with respect to a vertical direction.
