PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water surface travelling device capable of accurately travelling along a shortest path or an arbitrary travelling path to a desired position.SOLUTION: A water surface travelling device 10 includes: a first propulsion force generation unit having a body 100, a propeller 211, and a motor 212; a second propulsion force generation unit having a propeller 221 and a motor 222; and a controller 30. The body 100 floats on a water surface and the shape of a horizontal section of a submerged unit is circular, almost circular, or a regular polygon with 5 or more angles. The first propulsion force generation unit 1 and the second propulsion force generation unit are arranged on a top surface side of the body and in a position which is almost symmetrical to a center-of-gravity point of the submerged unit. The controller 30 controls propulsion force of the first propulsion force generation unit and the propulsion force of the second propulsion force generation unit separately.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】所望の位置に最短経路または任意の移動経路に沿って正確に移動できる水上移動装置を提供する。【解決手段】水上移動装置１０は、本体１００、プロペラ２１１とモータ２１２を有する第１推進力発生部、プロペラ２２１とモータ２２２を有する第２推進力発生部、および、制御部３０を備える。本体１００は、水面に浮かび、没水部の水平断面の形状が円形、略円形、または５角以上の正多角形の形状を有する。第１推進力発生部と第２推進力発生部とは、本体の上面側であって、没水部の重心点に対して略対称な位置に配置されている。制御部３０は、第１推進力発生部の推進力と第２推進力発生部の推進力とを個別に制御する。【選択図】 図１
