Original Abstract Submitted
A working robot may be configured to move and work autonomously. The working robot may include a robot body including a base and a bumper supported by the base, a working unit supported by the base, a movement mechanism configured to move the base, a movement motor configured to drive the movement mechanism, a first detection unit configured to detect a force that the bumper receives or displacement of the bumper relative to the base, a second detection unit configured to detect an angular velocity of the base or a state of the movement motor, and a control unit. The control unit may be configured to determine, based on a detection result detected by the first detection unit and a detection result detected by the second detection unit, whether the movement of the working robot is hindered by an obstacle.
