Abstract
A bumper sensor unit including a cord-shaped pressure sensitive sensor is fixed around a bumper of a running device to detect a contact of an obstacle based on a signal output from the cord-shaped pressure sensitive sensor. In that case, contact detecting means comprises a filtering section for removing the oscillation frequency component of a contact detecting object from the signal output from the cord-shaped pressure sensitive sensor.
