Abstract

A moving type working robot comprises a vehicle provided with a means for setting a traveling course between a position of stopping its working operation and an accumulating/replenishing place on the basis of positional information of the position where the working was stopped and the position of the place where the material loaded on the vehicle is to be accumulated/replenished. The positional information is stored in storing means and a control means is provided for traveling the vehicle from said accumulating/replenishing place to said position at which the working had been stopped, or vice versa, along said traveling course when the amount of the material loaded on the vehicle has reached a predetermined value.
