Provided is a power transmission device with which it is possible to minimize transmission of an excessive external force. This power transmission device has an input lever, an output lever, and a housing that are capable of moving relative to each other and that are mechanically connected to each other so as to be capable of transmitting power therebetween. The power transmission device has: a main spring disposed on a first power transmission path that is for transmitting power between the input lever and the output lever; a return spring disposed on a second power transmission path that is for transmitting power between the input lever and the housing; and a damper disposed on a third power transmission path that is for transmitting power between the output lever and the housing.

An inverted pendulum control type moving body is provided with: a first driving portion that moves a host moving body at least in a forward/backward direction; a supporting portion that supports the inverted pendulum control type moving body so that it stands independently in a state of being in contact with the ground; an operation portion that switches between the ground contact state and a ground separation state of the supporting portion; and a control portion that, when the operation portion switches the state of the supporting portion from the ground contact state to the ground separation state, controls operation of the first driving portion so that a forward/backward direction tilt angle of the inverted pendulum control type moving body approximates a target tilt angle in the ground contact state.
