A control device 20 of a rideable mobile body 1 determines a target speed of the rideable mobile body 1 according to at least the steering operation by a rider, and controls the travel of the rideable mobile body 1 according to the target speed. In the processing for determining a target speed, the target speed is restricted according to the positional relationship between a virtual wall set in a travel environment of the rideable mobile body 1 and the rideable mobile body 1. Thus, the comfort of the rider is secured while the travel of the rideable mobile body is restricted by the virtual wall.

A modular robotic vehicle (MRV) having a modular chassis configured for a vehicle utilizing two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering, six-wheel steering, eight-wheel steering controlled by a semiautonomous system or an autonomous driving system, either system is associated with operating modes which may include a two-wheel steering mode, an all-wheel steering mode, a traverse steering mode, a park mode, or an omni-directional mode utilized for steering sideways, driving diagonally or move crab like. Accordingly, during semiautonomous control a driver of the modular robotic vehicle may utilize smart I/O devices including a smartphone, tablet like devices, or a control panel to select a preferred driving mode. The driver may communicate navigation instructions via smart I/O devices to control steering, speed and placement of the MRV in respect to the operating mode. Accordingly, GPS and a wireless network provides navigation instructions during an autonomous operation involving driving, parking, docking or connecting to another MRV.
