Abstract
An automatic working machine adapted to carry out works such as cutting, filling, tightening and loosening, which comprises a visual unit for detecting, by means of the image information, a plurality of works and obstacles existing on an object, a working unit which works against a particular work and moves in relation to the object, and a tactile sensor provided in the vicinity of the working unit, the working unit being precisely positioned by the aid of the tactile sensor when the visual unit detects the particular work, the relative position being maintained during the operation, and the working unit along with the tactile sensor being retracted when the visual unit detects an obstacle, to avoid collision thereof with the obstacle.
