The invention discloses an intelligent air cushion transfer vehicle and a control method thereof. The intelligent air cushion transfer vehicle comprises a frame, a vehicular control system mounted on the frame, a power source system, an air cushion inflation and deflation unit, a walking driving unit, navigating and positioning units, height sensors, and a remote main controller connected with the vehicular control system, the power source system, the air cushion inflation and deflation unit, the walking driving unit, the navigating and positioning units and the height sensors are mounted on the frame and connected with the vehicular control system respectively, the remote main controller can directly and remotely control the intelligent air cushion transfer vehicle, the navigating and positioning units can collect positions of a vehicle body and information around the vehicle body to realize remote control and management, and the height sensors are used for detecting the height of the vehicle relative to the ground in real time to enable the remote main controller to be capable of controlling the air cushion inflation and deflation unit to realize adjustment of fluctuation height of the vehicle body according to height information of the vehicle body so as to control postures of the vehicle body. By the intelligent air cushion transfer vehicle and the control method thereof, intelligentization degree of an air cushion vehicle is increased, operating capability of the air cushion vehicle is improved, and the problems that existing air cushion vehicles are poor in navigation function and defective in remote control are solved.
