Robot device operating in mode corresponding to position of robot device and control method thereof

A method of controlling a robot device, the method comprising:

• based on the robot device being positioned at a first position, controlling the robot device in a first mode corresponding to the first position;
• identifying, based on sensing data obtained by at least one sensor, a first event of picking up the robot device by a user and a second event of placing the robot device on a surface;
• and
• based on an identification that a position of the robot device is changed from the first position to a second position based on new sensing data obtained by the at least one sensor after the first event and the second event sequentially occur, controlling the robot device in a second mode corresponding to the second position,
• wherein the second mode is different from the first mode,
• wherein the robot device comprises at least one memory storing map information corresponding to a space where the robot device is positioned,
• wherein the second mode comprises a plurality of functions, and
• wherein the controlling the robot device in the second mode further comprises:
• identifying whether the robot device is able to move on the surface based on information regarding the surface included in the map information;
• based on identifying that the robot device is able to move on the surface, executing at least one function requiring movement of the robot device among the plurality of functions of the second mode;
• and
• based on identifying that the robot device is unable to move on the surface, executing at least one function that does not require movement of the robot device among the plurality of functions of the second mode.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to individually or collectively execute a method of controlling a robot device, the method comprising:

• based on the robot device being positioned at a first position, controlling the robot device in a first mode corresponding to the first position;
• identifying, based on sensing data obtained by at least one sensor, a first event comprising picking up the robot device by a user and a second event comprising placing the robot device on a surface;
• and
• based on an identification that a position of the robot device is changed from the first position to a second position based on new sensing data obtained by the at least one sensor after the first event and the second event sequentially occur, controlling the robot device in a second mode corresponding to the second position,
• wherein the second mode is different from the first mode,
• wherein the robot device comprises at least one memory storing map information corresponding to a space where the robot device is positioned,
• wherein the second mode comprises a plurality of functions, and
• wherein the controlling the robot device in the second mode further comprises:
• identifying whether the robot device is able to move on the surface based on information regarding the surface included in the map information;
• based on identifying that the robot device is able to move on the surface, executing at least one function requiring movement of the robot device among the plurality of functions of the second mode;
• and
• based on identifying that the robot device is unable to move on the surface, executing at least one function that does not require movement of the robot device among the plurality of functions of the second mode.
