Abstract
A patrol robot including a plurality of magnetic sensors for detecting a magnetic marker laid on a traveling road has at least two or more magnetic sensors arrayed on a sensor array line linearly extending along any direction. In the patrol robot, two sensor array lines are formed, and since at least any one sensor array line can cross with respect to a relative moving direction of the magnetic marker with a movement of the patrol robot, the magnetic marker can be detected with high reliability, irrespective of the moving mode.
