Abstract

A method is for operating an at least partially autonomously moving, mobile medical unit, which has at least one sensing device for detecting possible collision objects in the environment of the unit and a control device, which evaluates the sensing data of the sensing device and which is designed to at least partially autonomously operate the movement of the unit while performing a collision protection function. In an embodiment of the method, a possible collision object described by the sensing data is classified by evaluating the sensing data and the classification is taken into consideration in the autonomous operation of the unit, in particular in the calculation of a trajectory to be traveled.
