Abstract
A traveling unit for a self-propelled apparatus, which is capable of detecting two different collision levels. The traveling unit includes: two running wheels rotatably supported by a frame; a motor that drives and rotates the two running wheels; and two tape switches that detect a collision of the frame with an obstacle. When the tape switch detects a small level of collision which is a first collision, the traveling unit performs an operation to avoid the obstacle. When the tape switch detects a second collision whose collision level is higher than the first collision, the traveling unit stops traveling.
