1. An autonomous travelling work vehicle comprising:
- at least one obstruction sensor to detect an obstruction in a travel route along which the autonomous travelling work vehicle is configured to travel; and
circuitry configured todetermine whether the at least one obstruction sensor operates under a proper operation environment, anddetermine whether a malfunction occurs in the at least one obstruction sensor if the at least one obstruction sensor is determined to operate under the proper operation environment.

Abstract
An autonomous travelling work vehicle includes at least one obstruction sensor and circuitry. The at least one obstruction sensor is to detect an obstruction in a travel route along which the autonomous travelling work vehicle is configured to travel. The circuitry is configured to determine whether the at least one obstruction sensor operates under a proper operation environment and to determine whether a malfunction occurs in the at least one obstruction sensor if the at least one obstruction sensor is determined to operate under the proper operation environment.

10. An autonomous travelling work vehicle comprising:
-
at least one obstruction sensor to detect an obstruction in a travel route along which the autonomous travelling work vehicle is configured to travel; circuitry configured to control autonomous travelling along the travel route, determine whether or not the at least one obstruction sensor detects an artificial obstruction entering a detection region of the at least obstruction sensor, and prohibit the autonomous travelling in a case where it is determined that the at least one obstruction sensor does not detect the artificial obstruction.

12. A method for controlling an autonomous travelling work vehicle, comprising:
-
determining whether at least one obstruction sensor operates under a proper operation environment, the at least one obstruction sensor being configured to detect an obstruction in a travel route along which the autonomous travelling work vehicle is configured to travel; and determining whether a malfunction occurs in the at least one obstruction sensor if the at least one obstruction sensor is determined to operate under the proper operation environment.
