An obstacle-sensing system for carriers, particularly autonomous carriers such as robot vacuum cleaners, enables the carriers to disengage themselves from any obstacle or obstruction with which they come into physical contact and proceed past the obstacle or obstruction. The obstacle-sensing system is established by constructing a carrier to have front and rear sections which, normally, are in a neutral relationship with respect to one another but which move relative to one another when the front section physically engages an obstacle or obstruction. The relative movement activates a guidance and control system that maneuvers the carrier around the obstacle or obstruction.

L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à un appareil de nettoyage autonome tel qu'un aspirateur robot. L'appareil a un châssis avec un boîtier comportant une partie frontale butoir et au moins deux roues d'entraînement (12) ou équivalent. Le boîtier comprend également un système électrique de guidage et de commande comportant une partie frontale butoir (13). La partie frontale butoir est mobile par rapport au châssis et le mouvement entre le châssis et la partie frontale butoir est détecté et génère un signal de commande transmis au système de guidage et de commande lorsque la partie frontale butoir rencontre un obstacle ou une obstruction. Le système de guidage et de commande permet alors de manoeuvrer l'aspirateur robot de manière à ce qu'il contourne l'obstacle ou l'obstruction.
