An autonomous traveling apparatus (100) includes a traveling body (10) with a wheel to be driven. The traveling body (10) includes a first wheel portion (15) and a second wheel portion (35) each provided along a traveling direction of the autonomous traveling apparatus (100) in the traveling body (10) with a predetermined space being interposed between the first wheel portion (15) and the second wheel portion (35). The second wheel portion (35) has a pair of wheels configured to be movable upward/downward with respect to the autonomous traveling apparatus (100). The autonomous traveling apparatus (100) further includes a laser sensor (105). The laser sensor (105) is configured to detect an object around the laser sensor (105) by emitting laser light while rotating the laser light with respect to the laser sensor (105) and by receiving reflected light of the laser light, and is provided on the traveling body (10) to avoid a portion above each of the pair of wheels such that a scanning plane is lower than a maximum reach point of a range of an upward/downward movement of each of the pair of wheels, the scanning plane being a range in which the laser light passes while rotating the laser light.
