In a coaxial two-wheeled vehicle, an attitude controller (84) calculates
motor torque Tgyr for maintaining a base so that it has a target angle
from deviation between base angle command .theta.ref serving as attitude
command and current base angle .theta..sub.0 calculated by using a gyro
sensor (13) and an acceleration sensor (14). On the other hand, at a
position proportional controller (86R), a differentiator (88R) and a
velocity proportional controller (89R), there is performed PD control
with respect to deviation between rotation position command Prefr of a
motor rotor (92R) for right wheel and current rotation position .theta.r
of a motor rotor (92R). A current control amplifier (91R) generates motor
current on the basis of added value of motor torque which is the control
result and estimated load torque T.sub.1 calculated by using pressure
sensors to drive the motor rotor (92R).
