A method for determining a distance between a cleaning robot and an obstacle. The cleaning robot has a first distance measuring system for a far measuring range and a second distance measuring system for a near measuring range. The second distance measuring system includes a camera. a) if the obstacle is located in the far measuring range, the distance between the cleaning robot and the obstacle is determined by way of the first distance measuring system. b) if the obstacle is located in an overlap region of the far measuring range and the near measuring range, the distance between the cleaning robot and the obstacle is determined by way of the first and the second distance measuring systems; c) if the obstacle is located in the near measuring range, the distance between the cleaning robot and the obstacle is determined by way of the second distance measuring system.
