Abstract
A automatic guided vehicle which drives drive wheels differentially to change its traveling direction applies braking by imposing reverse torque to wheel drive motors when cornering or when rapid braking is demanded. This braking corrects the traveling direction of the automatic guided vehicle when the vehicle is apt to depart from its intended path, enabling a automatic guided vehicle even having a large inertia to make a smooth turn at a sharp corner.
