ABSTRACT:
An autonomous vehicle which permits a work area to be set without requiring the operator to input a numerical value includes a body, a travel unit for moving said body, a distance measurement unit for measuring the distance from the body to a wall, and a travel control unit for determining a work area depending upon the distance output from the distance measurement unit at the start of operation and controlling the travel unit to travel the body within the determined work area. Note that a method of controlling the traveling of such an autonomous vehicle is claimed as well.
