Abstract
A mobile robot that autonomously travels includes a body that has a front surface, a driver that is disposed in the body and that drives travelling of the body, a base that includes a spring and that is connected to the body via the spring, and a distance measurer that is disposed at an upper part of the base. The base is connected to the body in such a way that the base is movable to be in a first state in which the laser range finder is located inside the body and a second state in which the laser range finder is located outside the body. The spring generates a force that pushes the base from a front surface of the body to an outside of the body.
