Abstract
A method of controlling a moving-robot includes creating a plurality of maps having different generation-time information through a plurality of driving processes; choosing any one of the plurality of maps according to a certain map choosing algorithm based on current time information and the generation-time information, and attempting location recognition based on the chosen map.
Claims20
A method of controlling a moving robot, the method comprising:
- creating a plurality of maps having respective different generation times through a plurality of driving processes by the moving robot;
- and
- choosing one of the plurality of maps based on a current time and the generation times of the maps, and attempting to perform location recognition of the moving robot using the chosen map.
A moving robot comprising:
- a main body;
- a motor is selectively driven to move the main body;
- a sensor to acquire environmental information that varies depending on illuminance during driving of the motor;
- and
- a controller to:
- create a plurality of maps having different generation times based on the environmental information acquired respectively in a plurality of driving processes at different points of time,
- compare a current time with the generation times to choose one of the plurality of maps, and
- use the chosen map to recognize a location of the moving robot.
