More Information
Summary:The disclosed invention relates to a robot cleaner and a method for controlling the robot cleaner. The robot cleaner comprises a foreign material detection sensor sensing various state including images from the front or back based on a driving direction, and transmitting to a control part; and a control part generating a front image based on sensing information transmitted from the foreign material detection sensor, distinguishing the front bottom area and non-bottom area by analyzing the generated front image, and detecting existence of foreign materials of the bottom area, or identifying type of the detected foreign materials. 개시된 발명은 로봇 청소기 및 로봇 청소기의 제어방법에 관한 것으로서, 주행 방향을 기준으로 전방 또는 후방으로부터의 영상을 비롯하여 각종 상태를 센싱하여 제어부로 전달하는 이물질 감지 센서; 및 이물질 감지 센서로부터 전송되는 센싱 정보를 기초로 전방 영상을 생성하고, 생성된 전방 영상을 분석하여 전방의 바닥 영역과 비 바닥 영역을 구분하고, 바닥 영역의 이물질 존재여부 감지 또는 감지된 이물질의 종류를 파악하는 제어부;를 포함할 수 있다.
