Abstract:

[Problem] To provide a self-propelled vacuum cleaner capable of obtaining, with precision, surroundings information relating to objects of interest in the surrounding area. [Solution] A self-propelled vacuum cleaner (1) includes: a vacuum cleaner body (2); a front sensor (31) that detects an object located far from the vacuum cleaner body (2); and a contact-type sensor (32) that detects an object located near the vacuum cleaner body (2). A control unit (5) has a surroundings information generation unit (45) which generates surroundings information related to the objects of interest around the vacuum cleaner body (2) on the basis of the far information detected by the front sensor (31) and the near information detected by the contact-type sensor (32).
