Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A movable carriage having front wheels and rear wheels includes, a detection unit detecting a direction caused by the operator pushing or pulling a grip unit, a rear-wheel steering angle changing unit changing a steering angle to cause a phase of the rear wheel to be the same as or opposite to the phase of the front wheel according to whether an angle between the detected direction and a center axis of the movable carriage is a predetermined angle or smaller, and a front-wheel steering angle changing unit changing a steering angle to cause a phase of the front wheel to be the same as or opposite to the detected direction according to whether the detected direction is a direction in which the movable carriage is pushed or pulled, when the angle between the detected direction and the center axis of the carriage exceeds the predetermined angle.
