1. An unmanned self-propelled and self-steering device for removing manure present on a floor, comprising:
- a manure slide;
a drive for moving the device over the floor; and
a frame provided with the drive, wherein the manure slide is held by the frame by a connection structure, wherein the manure slide has an upper edge, wherein the connection structure comprises a first rotational connection with a first, substantially horizontal rotational centre line located below at least a portion of the upper edge of a manure-pushing wall portion of the manure slide,wherein the manure slide defines autonomously a manure-accommodating-space, the manure-accommodating-space being open in a forward direction and closed in a rearward direction, wherein the manure slide is substantially U-shaped or V-shaped with two legs having a length substantially the same as a width of the manure slide, and wherein the legs of the manure slide are plate-shaped and the manure slide is provided with a mechanism configured to enable a mutual rotation of at least a portion of lower edges of the legs in a vertical plane in which said at least a portion of the lower edges of the legs is located, andwherein the connection structure comprises a second rotational connection with a second, substantially horizontal rotational centre line at an angle to the first rotational centre line.
