Abstract
A robot disposed in a given space is disclosed. The robot includes a mobile module, a communication unit configured to communicate with a robot control system, at least one sensing unit, an input unit configured to receive a user input or an image signal, a display, and a control module. Upon receiving destination information via the input unit, the control module searches for a movement route based on at least one of image information, spatial map information of the space, or information of a sensed obstacle region. Therefore, artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G communication can be performed by the robot, and user convenience can be improved, resulting in improved movement efficiency of the robot.
Claims15
A robot disposed in a given space, comprising:
- a wheel driver;
- a communicator configured to communicate with a robot control system;
- an inputter configured to receive a user input or an image signal;
- a display;
- and
- a controller configured to, upon receiving destination information via the inputter, search for a movement route based on at least one of image information, spatial map information of the space, or information of a sensed obstacle region,
- wherein, upon receiving information of a movable region of the robot from the robot control system, the controller updates the movement route based on the received movable region information.
A method for driving a robot disposed in a given space, the method comprising:
- upon receiving destination information, searching for a movement route based on at least one of image information, spatial map information, or obstacle region information;
- receiving information of a movable region of the robot from among the obstacle regions from a robot control system;
- and
- updating the movement route based on the received movable region information.
A method for driving a robot control system configured to control a robot disposed in a given space, the method comprising:
- receiving information of a movement route and information of an obstacle region from the robot;
- determining a movable region of the robot from among the obstacle regions based on images photographed by at least one camera installed in an upper part of the space;
- and
- transmitting a movement route having the determined movable region to the robot.
