ROBOT CLEANER AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A robot cleaner and a control method thereof are provided to implement cleaning without an area being omitted. CONSTITUTION: A robot cleaner comprises a wall recognizing unit(100) and a control unit(200). The wall recognizing unit recognizes a wall in the initial traveling direction and outputs wall information. The wall recognizing unit comprises a distance measuring part which measures a distance to the wall and outputs distance information, a line segment extracting part which extracts line segments based on the distance information from the distance measuring sensor, and a camera which is formed in a main body and outputs image information. The control unit sets a driving path based on the initial traveling direction and wall information.
