Abstract

See full text

An autonomous traveling apparatus includes a body, a travel control unit that controls a drive member to cause the autonomous traveling apparatus to travel, an obstacle detection unit that detects an object located within a predetermined obstacle sensing area, a restart switch disposed on the body and operable to cause the autonomous traveling apparatus to resume traveling from a stop mode, and a restart control unit that, when an operation of activating the restart switch is performed by a user, causes the obstacle detection unit to resume obstacle detection so as not to detect the user as an obstacle until the user who has performed the operation of activating the restart switch moves out of the obstacle sensing area, and causes the autonomous traveling apparatus to resume traveling.
