Abstract
The present disclosure analyzes the image around the main body, detects the depth of the floor surface and the height of the floor surface beyond the obstacle, and determines whether to climb the obstacle.
Claims20
A method of controlling a moving robot, the method comprising:
- an image acquisition step of acquiring an image of a front of the moving robot;
- a detection step of detecting an obstacle and a front floor surface in front of the obstacle from the acquired image;
- a calculation step of calculating a height of the obstacle and a depth of the front floor surface;
- and
- a climbing avoidance step of climbing or avoiding the obstacle by the moving robot based on the height of the obstacle and the depth of the front floor surface.
2 more elements
A moving robot comprising:
- A first driving motor and a second driving motor configured to drive a wheel;
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of surroundings of the moving robot and an image of an obstacle;
- and
- a controller configured to control the first driving motor and the second driving motor by analyzing the image acquired by the image acquisition unit,
- wherein the controller analyzes the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, calculates a height of the obstacle and a depth of a front floor surface, and controls the driving motor based on the height of the obstacle and the depth of the front floor surface.
2 more elements
A moving robot comprising:
- A first driving motor and a second driving motor configured to drive a wheel;
- a pattern irradiation unit configured to irradiate a light of a certain pattern to surroundings of the moving robot;
- an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image of the surroundings of the moving robot and an image of an obstacle;
- and
- a controller configured to control the first driving motor and the second driving motor by analyzing the pattern from the image acquired by the image acquisition unit,
- wherein the controller analyzes the pattern from the image acquired by the image acquisition unit, calculates a height of the obstacle and a depth of a front floor surface, and controls the driving motor based on the height of the obstacle and the depth of the front floor surface.
