Summary:PURPOSE:To enable automatic following of a self-running cleaner to a body suction hose at the time of manual cleaning by inputting the output signal of a suction hose detecting means to a sub-processor for controlling the movement of the body by the instruction of a main processor determining a moving route. CONSTITUTION:During the running of a body 1, a main processor 40 determines the moving route while receiving the obstruction data by a sub-processor 42 and outputs the moving instruction to sub-processors 43, 44. Then, the sub- processor 43 drive controls a running motor 18 to repeat advance, stop and retreat, and the sub-processor 44 drive-controls a steering motor 23 to change the running direction. In carrying out On/OFF of an electric air blower 2 by a switch in hand, a hose tension detection sensor 33 is operated when a suction hose 9 is pulled, and the sub-processor 43 drives the running motor 18 to run the body 1 by a fixed distance. Simultaneously, the sub-processor 44 detects the delivery direction of the suction hose 9 by a hose direction detection sensor 32 and drive-controls the steering motor 23 to make the running direction regularly coincide with the delivering direction of the suction hose 9.
