Patent number: 11858149Abstract: A robot may include an input interface configured to obtain an image of a surrounding environment of the robot, and at least one processor configured to rotate the robot in place for localization, and estimate at least one of a position or a pose in a space, based on a plurality of sequential images obtained by the input interface during the rotation of the robot. The position or the pose of the robot may be estimated based on inputting the plurality of sequential images obtained during the rotation of the robot into a trained model based on an artificial neural network. In a 5G environment connected for the Internet of Things, embodiments of the present disclosure may execute an artificial intelligence algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Sookhyun Yang, Jungsik Kim, Jinuh Joo, Hyoungrock Kim, Sang Ki Kim, Minjung Kim, Moonsik Nam, Gyuho Eoh, Donghak Lee
