Abstract
An autonomous mobile robot and a method of controlling the same, A mobile robot includes: a light-emitting unit projecting light onto a target position on a motion surface, on which the robot moves under control of a user; a position coordinate calculation unit calculating position coordinates of the target position based on a distance between a body of the robot and a target position onto which the light-emitting unit projects light; and a driving unit moving the robot according to the calculated position coordinates of the target position.
Claims17
A mobile robot comprising:
- a light-emitting unit projecting light onto a target position on a motion surface, on which the robot moves, under control of a user;
- a position coordinate calculation unit calculating position coordinates of the target position based on a distance between a body of the robot and a target position onto which the light-emitting unit projects light;
- and
- a driving unit moving the robot according to the calculated position coordinates of the target position.
A method of controlling a mobile robot, the method comprising:
- projecting light onto a target position on a motion surface, on which the robot moves, using a light-emitting device installed on one side of a body of the robot;
- calculating position coordinates of the target position based on a distance between the body and a target position onto which the light-emitting device projects light;
- and
- moving the robot according to the calculated position coordinates of the target position.
