Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a steering control device for a running toy including: light emitting sections (11,12) mounted on the running toy to emit different types of infrared rays with different wavelengths in left and right directions diagonally ahead of the running toy, a light receiving section (13) mounted on the running toy to receive the infrared rays emitted from the light emitting sections (11,12) and reflected on an obstacle, and a control section (8) mounted on the running toy to control a steering device of the running toy when the light receiving sections receive an infrared ray with a wavelength matching with at least one of the wavelengths of the infrared rays emitted from the light emitting sections so that the running toy is steered in a direction to avoid collision with the obstacle according to the matching wavelength of the received infrared ray.
