Abstract
Provided is a driving method of a robot including setting a driving route based on a map held by the robot, driving the robot along a set driving path, checking, by the robot, whether braille blocks for a visually impaired person are around the driving route using the detection sensor while the robot is driving, and driving, by the robot, along the braille blocks when the braille blocks are around the driving route. The robot may transmit and receive radio signals on a mobile communication network established according to 5G communication.
Claims20
A driving method for a robot including a detection sensor, the method comprising:
- setting a route based on a map available to the robot;
- causing the robot to move along a path according to the route;
- identifying, using data from the detection sensor, braille blocks for a visually impaired person as being located relative to the path while the robot is moving along the path;
- and
- causing the robot to move along the path according to the braille blocks,
- wherein the robot moves at a distance from the braille blocks.
A driving method for a robot including a detection sensor, the method comprising:
- setting a route based on a map available to the robot;
- causing the robot to move along a path according to the route;
- identifying, using data from the detection sensor, braille blocks for a visually impaired person as being located relative to the path while the robot is moving along the path, wherein the braille blocks include a first block for guiding the visually impaired person in a walking direction and a second block for guiding the visually impaired person to stop or change the walking direction;
- causing the robot to move along the path according to the braille blocks;
- causing the robot to drive in a direction in which the first block is arranged when the robot recognizes the first block;
- and
- causing the robot to pause when the robot recognizes the second block.
A robot, comprising:
- a memory comprising map data;
- a detection sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- identify a route based on the map data;
- cause the robot to move along a path according to the route;
- identify, using data from the detection sensor, braille blocks for a visually impaired person as being located relative to the route while the robot is moving along the path;
- and
- causing the robot to move along the path according to the braille blocks,
- wherein the robot moves at a distance from the braille blocks.
