A method for the navigation and self-location of an autonomously moving processing device uses an environment map within an environment, wherein environment data of the environment are collected and processed to form an environment map. To support the navigation and self-location of the processing device advantageously, an additional autonomously moving device collects environmental data of the environment for the processing device, and environmental data are transmitted to the processing device. A system consists of an autonomously moving processing device and an additional autonomously moving device.

Method for the navigation and self-localization of an autonomously moving processing device

An automatically moving cleaning device includes a device housing, at least one obstacle detection device and a control device for controlling the cleaning device within an environment according to a detection result of the obstacle detection device, wherein the obstacle detection device is at least partially moveably mounted on the device housing, such that a detection region of the obstacle detection device is shiftable relative to the device housing. In order to optimize the detection of obstacles within the environment of the cleaning device, the control device is configured to shift the detection region of the obstacle detection device relative to the device housing depending on a position and/or orientation of the cleaning device.
