AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT CAPABLE OF DETOURING OBSTACLE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided are an autonomous mobile robot capable of detouring an obstacle, and a method thereof. The autonomous mobile robot includes a moving object; an extension unit connected to the moving object and extending in proportion to a pulling force of the moving object; a drive unit moving the autonomous mobile robot toward the moving object corresponding to the pulling force of the object connected to the extension unit; a route information obtaining unit obtaining route information according to an extension length to which the extension unit extends corresponding to the pulling force of the moving object; an obstacle detecting unit detecting presence of an obstacle placed within a predetermined distance in a moving direction of the autonomous mobile robot that is being led by the moving object; and a control unit controlling the drive unit such that the autonomous mobile robot moves along a route based on the route information. Accordingly, collision between the obstacle and the autonomous mobile robot can be prevented, and the autonomous mobile robot can naturally detour the obstacle.
