Abstract
An inverted moving body includes: a riding part; a posture detection unit that detects a rotation angle of the riding part in a front-back direction; and a controller that switches, when a switching condition is satisfied, a non-inverted control state to an inverted control state. The inverted moving body includes a supporting part capable of supporting the inverted moving body in the inverted state while being in contact with the ground in the non-inverted control state. The switching condition includes a condition that an angle variation amount from the rotation angle of the riding part in the front-back direction in a state in which the supporting part is in contact with the ground is equal to or larger than a threshold.
