Abstract
This movement control device controls each wheel of a vehicle including a first wheel capable of driving and capable of steering, a second wheel capable of steering, and a third wheel capable of steering. The movement control device comprises: a rotation signal generation unit that generates a rotation signal for controlling each wheel such that a traveling direction of the vehicle is changed with one of the second wheel and the third wheel as a center of rotation when viewed from a vertical direction; a translation signal generation unit that generates a translation signal for controlling each wheel such that, when changing the traveling direction of the vehicle, one of the second wheel and the third wheel that is the center of rotation is moved in one direction that crosses the traveling direction; a signal combining unit that generates a wheel control signal in which the rotation signal and the translation signal are combined; and a wheel control unit that controls each wheel on the basis of the wheel control signal.
