PURPOSE:To perform a work by a fed electric power, and to lighten a weight, and at the same time, to make a work efficient, and to improve a generality by dividing a working area into plural sub-areas, and determining the working order of the sub- area so that a feeding cord does not come to be caught by obstacles. CONSTITUTION:A working area detecting means 1 detects the coordinates P0, P4 of the working area, the coordinate K of a plug socket and the coordinates P1-P3 of the obstacles I, II by various kinds of sensors, while cruising around the working area by a battery drive, built-in in a working vehicle. A network generating means 2 divides the working area into search areas A, B...H the based on the data of the obstacle I, and holds the connection state between them. A dividing method selecting means 3 generates the sub-area owing to the combination of the respective sub-areas, and selects the selecting methods a-d of the sub-area. A picking up means 4 picks up the maximum dividing method, in which the number of constituting sub-areas is the minimum. A working order determining means 5 determines the working order or the sub-area so as to be the order to make the catch points of the feeding cord comes the least. Hereafter, the optimum route is determined by a starting point terminating point determining means 6, a sub-route determining means 7, and a working route selecting means 8, and the work is executed after connecting a plug.
