The invention discloses a wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle applied to protected agriculture. The wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle comprises a moving platform, a navigation system, an obstacle detection system, a material bearing device and a control system. The moving platform is used for providing power to the wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle; the navigation system, which is at a front end of a chassis of the moving platform, is used for independent navigation of the wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle; the obstacle detection system, which surrounds the vehicle body of the wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle, is used for detecting whether there is an obstacle within a predetermined distance around the wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle and sending an obstacle signal to the control system; the wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle is above the moving platform; and the control system, which is electrically connected with the navigation system, the obstacle detection system and the moving platform, is used for receiving signals sent by the navigation system and the obstacle detection system and controlling motions of the moving platform. According to the provided wheel-type intelligent transport vehicle applied to protected agriculture in the invention, on the condition of unmanned operation, materials for production can be safely conveyed to a plurality of assigned stations along a planned path.
