To solve the problem in the conventional cases that the accumulation of position measurement errors increase due to relative position recognition using an internal sensor by a position recognizing means in a conventional mobile working robot, and that at times a movement path is shifted or a start point is lost.
This mobile working robot is provided with a body part 1 which performs a work while moving and a monitoring part 2, which monitors the body part 1. The monitoring part 2 recognizes the positions of light emitting means 10 and 11 by a position recognizing means from the image of a moving area inputted by an image input means 21, and transmits this information signal to the body part 1 by a transmitting means. The main body part 1 controls the flashing of the light-emitting means 10 and 11 by a light emission control means according to the contents of the signal received by a light-receiving means. Thus, it is possible to provide this mobile working robot which can move surely, even in a wide moving area, without accumulating positional measurement errors by surely obtaining position information as viewed from the outside part of the body part 1.
