## Abstract

A moving robot includes a voice input unit configured to receive a voice input of a user; a first display capable of receiving a touch input; a second display larger than the first display; and a controller configured to perform control such that a screen to be displayed in response to the voice input or the touch input is displayed on at least one of the first display or the second display based on a type and an amount of information included in the screen. Accordingly, it is possible to provide information and services more effectively using the two displays.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A moving robot comprising:
a top cover;
a middle cover disposed below the top cover and including a first cut-open portion and a second cut-open portion;
a front lidar disposed in a position corresponding to the first cut-open portion;
a rear lidar disposed in a position corresponding to the second cut-open portion;
a first display; and
a second display spaced apart from the first display,
wherein the second display is disposed in a rear section of the middle cover, and
wherein a lower end of the second display is positioned above the second cut-open portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the first cut-open portion and the second cut-open portion are spaced apart from each other in an upward and downward direction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the first cut-open portion is positioned above the second cut-open portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the first cut-open portion is formed from a front section to a side section on an outer circumferential surface of the middle cover, and
wherein the second cut-open portion is formed from a rear section to a side section on the outer circumferential surface of the middle cover.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the middle cover has a diameter that increases from top to bottom.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the front lidar and the rear lidar are disposed within the middle cover,
wherein the front lidar is exposed to the outside through the first cut-open portion, and
wherein the rear lidar is exposed to the outside through the second cut-open portion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the second display is a curved display having a slope that increases from top to bottom.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein first display is disposed in the top cover.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, wherein the middle cover includes a first middle cover positioned below the top cover, and a second middle cover positioned below the first middle cover, and
wherein the first cut-open portion and the second cut-open portion are disposed in the second middle cover.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, further comprising:
a voice input unit configured to receive a voice input of a user; and
a controller configured to, in response to receiving the voice input or a touch input received to the first display or the second display, selectively display a screen on at least one of the first display or the second display based on a type and an amount of information included in the screen.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The moving robot of claim 10, wherein the controller is further configured to:
sequentially display, on the second display, a boarding gate map screen including guiding information for locations of airplane boarding gates and an advertising screen including one or more advertising images while in an air side mode or when the moving robot is located on an air side of an airport; and
sequentially display, on the second display, a counter map screen including information for guiding locations of counters in a land side of the airport, a representative counter guide screen including information for guiding locations of counters of representative airlines, and an advertising screen including one or more advertising images while in a land side mode or when the moving robot is located on a land side of the airport.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The moving robot of claim 10, wherein the controller is further configured to:
in response to the distance between the moving robot and the user being greater than a predetermined distance, display the predetermined information on the second display; and
in response to the distance between the moving robot and the user being less than or equal to the predetermined distance, display the predetermined information on the first touchscreen display.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The moving robot of claim 1, further comprising a driving unit configured to move the moving robot,
wherein the controller is further configured to rotate the rotatable head upon movement of the moving robot.
