Abstract
To make it possible to correct a current position detected by an autonomous traveling work machine to the correct position with a simple configuration. A robot lawn mower includes a first position detecting unit for detecting a current position by using odometry and a second position detecting unit for detecting a current position by using an image capture. When position detection accuracy of both of the first and second position detecting units decreases to less than or equal to a predetermined value, the robot lawn mower is controlled to travel to either of zones Zand Zin which the position detection accuracy of the second position detecting unit is relatively high, and when the robot lawn mower moves to either of the zones Zand Z, a current position used for autonomous traveling is corrected to the current position detected by the second position detecting unit.
