Robot device for identifying movement path based on privacy zone and control method thereof

A control method of a robot device that includes map information corresponding to a predetermined space, the map information including a plurality of zones, the control method comprising:

• identifying a position of a user;
• identifying whether the user is positioned in a first zone among the plurality of zones based on the identified position of the user and the map information;
• based on identifying that the user is positioned in the first zone, identifying a movement path of the robot device based on remaining zones, except for the first zone, among the plurality of zones;
• based on identifying that the user is positioned in the first zone, identifying a second zone adjacent to the first zone from among the plurality of zones, based on the map information;
• and
• based on the robot device being positioned in the second zone while the robot device is moved along the identified movement path, controlling an operation of a sensor.

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory configured to store instructions;
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• identify a position of a user;
• identify whether the user is positioned in a first zone among a plurality of zones, based on the identified position of the user and map information, the map information including the plurality of zones, and
• based on identifying that the user is positioned in the first zone, identify a movement path of the electronic device based on remaining zones, except for the first zone, among the plurality of zones,
• based on identifying that the user is positioned in the first zone, identify a second zone adjacent to the first zone from among the plurality of zones, based on the map information, and
• based on the electronic device being positioned in the second zone while the electronic device is moved along the identified movement path, control an operation of the sensor.
