The housing also includes an electric guidance and control system and an obstacle sensing system includin g the front bumper part (13). The front bumper part is movably arranged with respect to the chassis and the movement between the chassis and the front bumper part is sensed and causes a control signal to be transmitted to the guidance and control system when the front bumper part encounters and obstac le or obstruction. The guidance and control system can then maneuvrer the robot vacuum cleaner around the obstacle or obstruction.
