PURPOSE: To accurately move the moving body along a predetermined moving path.
CONSTITUTION: This steering controller for the moving body which has a means for storing data regarding the predetermined moving path of the moving body and steers the moving body so that the quantity of deviation of the moving body from the moving path is eliminated is provided with a light reflecting body and an ultrasonic wave reflecting body at one or plural specific positions on the moving path, and the moving body, on the other hand, is provided with a reflection type photoelectric sensor SE and a couple of front and rear ultrasonic wave sensors SA and SB which are provided on the moving body and send ultrasonic waves and detect their reflected waves. Further, the device is equipped with calculating means 15 and 8 which calculate values regarding the position and attitude angle of the moving body based on the measured values of those sensors SA and SB and a correcting means 8 which corrects the current position and attitude angle based in the calculated values regarding the position and attitude angle of the moving body.
