PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walk-assistive robot that is capable of recognizing a surrounding environment and rapidly responding to the surrounding environment, and a method of controlling the walk-assistive robot.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a walk-assistive robot and a method of controlling the walk-assistive robot. The method of controlling the walk-assistive robot may include: a ground information obtaining step for obtaining ground information that is information regarding ground in a walking direction; a control pattern determining step for determining control patterns of the walk-assistive robot by analyzing the obtained ground information; and a walk-assistive robot controlling step for controlling the walk-assistive robot on the basis of the determined control patterns. 【課題】 周辺の環境を認識し、周辺環境によって迅速に対応することができる歩行補助ロボット及び歩行補助ロボットの制御方法を提供すること。【解決手段】 歩行補助ロボット及び歩行補助ロボットの制御方法に関し、歩行補助ロボットの制御方法は、歩行方向の地面に対する情報である地面情報を獲得する地面情報獲得段階と、前記生成した地面情報を分析し、歩行補助ロボットに対する制御パターンを決定する制御パターン決定段階と、前記決定した制御パターンに基づいて歩行補助ロボットを制御する歩行補助ロボット制御段階とを含むことができる。【選択図】 図１
