Zusammenfassung:To avoid a wet place without having contact with a fluid by accurately detecting the place.SOLUTION: An autonomous travel type cleaning robot 1 comprises: a specific infrared imaging sensor 12 for imaging a floor surface in front of a route of a robot body 2 traveling on the floor surface, and detecting light including specific-wavelength infrared light where absorption by water is recognized from infrared light radiated by a light irradiation section 10; and a control section 20 or the like for receiving an infrared light signal to be output by the specific infrared imaging sensor 12. The control section 20 determines presence/absence of a wet place W existing on the floor surface in front of the route of the robot body 2 based on the infrared light signal, and then, changes an operation of the cleaning robot 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】液体に接触しなくても濡れた場所を高い精度で検知して回避できるようにする。【解決手段】自律走行型の掃除ロボット1である。床面の上を走行するロボット本体2の進路前方の床面を撮像し、光照射部10が照射する赤外光のうち、水による吸光が認められる特定波長の赤外光を含む光を検出する特定赤外光撮像センサ12、特定赤外光撮像センサ12が出力する赤外光信号を受信する制御部20などを備える。制御部20が、ロボット本体2の進路前方の床面に存在する濡れ場所Wの有無を赤外光信号に基づいて判断し、それによって掃除ロボット1の運転を変更する。【選択図】図6
