Abstract: A self-propelled device includes a body, a walking module, an air extraction module, an air pressure sensor and at least one bumper structure. The body is defined with a first space and a second space in communication with the first space, wherein the volume of the second space is smaller than the volume of the first space and the second space is closer to a side of the body than the first space. The walking module is adjacent to the body. The air extraction module is arranged on the body and is in communication with the first space. The air pressure sensor is arranged on the body and disposed at one end of the second space. The bumper structure is relatively movably arranged on the body, and is configured to close the second space when located at a first position and open the second space when located at a second position. The self-propelled device is for walking on a board surface.
