Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a mobile robot and a control method thereof which are characterized by comparing an illumination in an initial stage of a task with an illumination at a time when recharging performed due to power shortage of a battery is completed, and additionally determining whether or not there is a person in a travel area, thereby determining whether or not the task incompletely executed before the recharging should be subsequently executed.
Claims15
A control method of a mobile robot comprising:
- first illumination value measurement of, by the mobile robot, measuring a first illumination value in a travel area in which the mobile robot travels, and executing a first task for the travel area;
- recharging of, by the mobile robot, stopping the first task and performing recharging when a charged amount of a battery is insufficient in a state in which the mobile robot incompletely executes the first task for the travel area;
- second illumination value measurement of, by the mobile robot, measuring a second illumination value in the travel area after the mobile robot completes recharging;
- and
- task execution determination of, by the mobile robot, comparing the second illumination value with a predetermined reference illumination value and the first illumination value, thereby subsequently executing the first task or determining no subsequent execution of the first task.

A mobile robot comprising:
- a driver configured to move a body;
- a task executer configured to execute a predetermined task;
- an image sensor configured to acquire an image of surroundings of the body;
- and
- a controller configured to compare a first illumination value measured in an initial stage of a first task, a second illumination value measured after stopping the first task and then completing recharging, and a predetermined reference illumination value, thereby controlling the mobile robot to subsequently execute the first task or not to subsequently execute the first task.
