Abstract

A self-propelled floor processing device with an evaluation unit, which is designed to navigate the floor processing device within an environment based on an area map and, during a movement, to determine a behavior parameter of the floor processing device and a movement path of the floor processing device. The evaluation unit is set up to analyze the behavior parameter and movement path, automatically determine a no-go area which the floor processing device must not traverse depending on the result of the analysis, and enter the determined no-go area in the area map or change a no-go area already entered in the area map.
