PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a movable body in which brake operation in an adequate form can be realized even with a power assist function.SOLUTION: A movable body comprises a vehicle body part which a holding part is fitted to, a detection part which detects pressure of the holding part, a wheel part for moving the vehicle body part, a wheel drive mechanism which drives the wheel part, and a control part which controls the drive to implement power assistance when a user holds the holding part and walks while driving the vehicle body part. The control part implements brake control operation which controls the drive so that the rotation speed of the wheel part is lowered, when the detection value of the detection part satisfies a prescribed condition.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】パワーアシスト機能を有しながらも、適切な形態のブレーキ操作を実現させ得る移動体を提供する。【解決手段】把持部が取付けられた車体部と、前記把持部の圧力を検出する検出部と、前記車体部を移動させるための車輪部と、前記車輪部を駆動する車輪駆動機構部と、使用者が前記把持部を把持して前記車体部を推進させながら歩行する際に、パワーアシストを行うように前記駆動を制御する制御部と、を備え、前記制御部は、前記検出部の検出値が既定条件を満たしたときに、前記車輪部の回転速度が低減するように前記駆動を制御するブレーキ制御動作を行う移動体とする。【選択図】図11
