Abstract

A system consists of a vehicle in the form of an independently moving vehicle in the form of a cleaning robot, and a door with a doorframe and a door leaf. The vehicle has a detector for detecting object data within the environment. In order to be able to open a door without the cleaning robot manually acting on the door, the door has an electronic actuator for changing an open state of the door, and the vehicle has or is allocated a controller, which is set up to output a control command for activating the actuator depending on an operating state and/or position of the vehicle.
