Abstract
When a running vehicle moves backward and a right back portion of the robot, which is one end of it touches a wall, the robot is rotated to the left until a left back portion of the robot touches the wall. The angle of rotation .beta. at this time is measured and the value .beta./2 is represented by .alpha.. The robot is rotated to the right by the angle .beta.-.alpha.. Therefore, the robot is positioned perpendicular to the wall. Thereafter, the robot is moved backward until the back portion of the robot touches the wall. As a result, an apparatus for positioning the running robot relative to the wall is provided.
