Robot and operation method thereof

An operation method of a robot capable of traveling and transporting cargo, the method comprising:

• obtaining map information relating to a traveling space of the robot;
• identifying, from the map information, at least one region of interest corresponding to a passage with a first width of the passage being greater than a second width of the robot and a first height of the passage being less than a second height of the robot;
• obtaining, based on the map information, space information corresponding to the at least one region of interest;
• obtaining footprint information corresponding to the robot, and identifying a traveling path of the robot based on at least one of the map information and the footprint information;
• and
• controlling the robot to travel based on the traveling path.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by at least one processor of a robot capable of traveling and transporting cargo, causes the robot to:

• obtain map information relating to a traveling space of the robot;
• identify, from the map information, at least one region of interest corresponding to a passage with a first width being greater than a second width of the robot and with a first height of the passage being less than a second height of the robot;
• obtain, based on the map information, space information corresponding to the at least one region of interest;
• obtain footprint information corresponding to the robot, and identify a traveling path of the robot based on at least one of the map information and the footprint information;
• and
• control the robot to travel based on the traveling path.
