Mobile robot and method of controlling the same

A mobile robot, comprising:

• a traveling device configured to move a body;
• a position sensor to sense position information;
• a controller configured to set a boundary based on the position information, and to set a traveling area based on the set boundary,
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• control the traveling device such that the mobile robot is to follow a terminal while maintaining less than a predetermined distance from the terminal that moves along a first path in an area, and set the boundary based on the sensed position information while the mobile robot is following the terminal, and
• control the traveling device to provide movement of the mobile robot within the traveling area and to prevent the mobile robot from moving to outside the boundary.

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

• receiving position information from a terminal that moves along a path at an area;
• setting, by the mobile robot, a boundary based on the received position information, wherein the setting of the boundary includes connecting a plurality of different positions of the position information;
• setting a traveling area of the mobile robot based on the set boundary;
• and
• controlling the mobile robot to provide movement within the traveling area and without allowing the mobile robot to move outside the boundary.

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

• moving a terminal along a path at an area;
• moving the mobile robot by following the terminal;
• receiving position information;
• setting, at the mobile robot, a boundary based on the received position information, wherein the setting of the boundary includes connecting a plurality of different positions of the position information;
• setting a traveling area of the mobile robot based the set boundary;
• and
• controlling movement of the mobile robot to be within the traveling area and to prevent the mobile robot from moving outside the boundary.
