  • Publication number: 20190332121
    Abstract: A moving robot and a control method thereof according to the present invention create a cleaning map including information on a travelable area of a cleaning area based on obstacle information, create a create a manufactured user map by changing forms and outlines by area with respect to a plurality of area configuring the cleaning map, and create a user map having a form similar to that of the cleaning are in a real indoor space by changing a form and an outline of a map including information on the travelable area according to an arear, so that a user easily recognizes a position of each area to input a cleaning command through the map, and a cleaning command with respect to an area which the moving robot cannot run is prevented from being input. Since the moving robot does not unnecessarily move an area, operation power consumption is reduced. The moving robot may run a cleaning area with limited power to efficiently clean the cleaning area.

  • Publication number: 20180052468
    Abstract: Disclosed are a moving robot and a controlling method thereof. The moving robot which selectively moves an area based on a stored map to search a charging station within a short time when there is a need for charging due to consumption of a battery. Although a position of the moving robot is optionally changed, the moving robot recognizes a position thereof so that it is easy to move between areas and an influence according to complexity of an obstacle is reduced. Since the charging station in an area may be searched through small moving by setting a specific point in the area as a search position to search the charging station, stop of an operation during searching the charging station may be solved and the charging station may be exactly searched within a short time.
