Abstract
A method for operating a mobile, self-driving appliance, in particular a floor cleaning appliance, such as a vacuuming robot and/or sweeping robot and/or mopping robot, uses a detection facility provided for navigation to determine whether a cover element, which is disposed on an appliance housing of the mobile, self-driving appliance, is open or closed. When the cover element is open, the mobile, self-driving appliance performs a driving maneuver for independently closing the cover element.
