Abstract
In an embodiment a robot control apparatus includes at least one first sensor provided on a front of a head part of a robot including a wheel part and the head part connected to an upper portion of the wheel part, the first sensor being configured to sense a first distance from a ground, at least one second sensor provided on a rear of the head part and configured to sense a second distance from the ground and a controller configured to determine a driving environment of the robot based on at least one of the first distance or the second distance and adjust a control gain related to a balance control of the robot based on the determined driving environment.
Claims20
A robot control apparatus comprising:
- at least one first sensor provided on a front of a head part of a robot including a wheel part and the head part connected to an upper portion of the wheel part, the first sensor being configured to sense a first distance from a ground;
- at least one second sensor provided on a rear of the head part and configured to sense a second distance from the ground;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a driving environment of the robot based on at least one of the first distance or the second distance;
- and
- adjust a control gain related to a balance control of the robot based on the determined driving environment.
A method for controlling a robot, the method comprising:
- sensing, by at least one first sensor, a first distance from a ground, the first sensor being provided on a front of a head part of the robot including a wheel part, wherein the head part is connected to an upper portion of the wheel part;
- sensing, by at least one second sensor, a second distance from the ground, the second sensor being provided on a rear of the head part;
- determining, by a controller, a driving environment of the robot based on at least one of the first distance or the second distance;
- and
- adjusting, by the controller, a control gain related to a balance control of the robot based on the determined driving environment.
