PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a self-propelled working robot capable of changing the scope of sight for detecting an obstacle by obstacle sensors depending on the situation of a working space. SOLUTION: In a cleaner robot for cleaning a floor surface while automatically traveling, obstacle sensors 11-13 for detecting an obstacle and the distance to the detected obstacle are arranged on and supported by a supporting member 17. Turning members 18 and 19 are fitted to the obstacle sensors 12 and 13 on both ends, and the turning members 18 and 19 are turnably attached by the attachment members 20 and 21 while being opposed to the supporting member 17. When the turning members 18 and 19 are turned, the fitted obstacle sensors 12 and 13 are turned to change their direction. Therefore, even if the direction of the obstacle sensor 11 is not changed, the overlapping state of the scopes of sight of the obstacle sensors 11-13 with each other is changed and the scope of sight for detecting the obstacle by the three obstacle sensors 11-13 can be increased and reduced.
