A ball-balancing robot is capable of accurately controlling its posture when a robot main body is rotated about the vertical axis in a yaw direction in a state in which the robot main body is positioned on a spherical object in a posture in which a gravity center of the robot main body matches a vertical axis passing a center of the spherical object, and in a state in which a base axis of the roll-direction angular velocity sensor is inclined with respect to the horizon in a pitch direction (at an inclination angle θp), the robot main body is able to rotate while maintaining a predetermined posture by making correction to cancel a detection error in the angular velocity in the roll direction generated based on the inclination of the base axis of the roll-direction angular velocity sensor.
