Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a self-propelled robotic work tool (1), e.g. an automatic robotic lawn mower, and a corresponding method. The robotic tool comprises an inertia measurement unit (IMU 15) which generally obtains (25) measured IMU parameters regarding the robotic working tool's movement. A prediction algorithm (17) predicts (27,36) required motor currents for driving the robotic work tool's wheels (5) based on the measured IMU parameters. The predicted motor current is compared (29,37) to the actual current used and the difference constitutes an error (19), which is used in a collision detection unit (21). If the collision detection unit (21) senses that the actually used motor current is much higher than the predicted current, a collision may be indicated (31).
