Abstract
A vehicle transport apparatus is formed by a first robot and a second robot that enter underneath a vehicle, lift up wheels of the vehicle, and travel. The first robot and the second robot each include a distance sensor that detects a distance between the corresponding robot and an object near the corresponding robot, and a robot computing section that controls a travel operation and a loading operation of the corresponding robot. When the vehicle is to be lowered in a parking region, the robot computing section adjusts a parking position of the vehicle based on information detected by the distance sensor.
