A method for controlling a robot, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring at least one of sound information and action information from a user in a serving place, and deciding whether at least one of the sound information and the action information is intended for the robot;
- determining identification information on the user as a group classified according to a role of the user in the serving place on the basis of at least one of the sound information and the action information, in response to deciding that at least one of the sound information and the action information is intended for the robot;
- determining an operation to be performed by the robot on the basis of the identification information;
- and
- causing the robot to autonomously perform the determined operation,
- wherein when the group according to the role of the user is a first group consisting of users who are employees working at the serving place, the operation to be performed by the robot is determined as responding to the user's call if the sound information includes at least one command for calling the robot or the action information includes at least one action for calling the robot, or performing a specific task if the sound information includes at least one command for assigning the specific task to the robot or the action information includes at least one action for assigning the specific task to the robot, and
