Summary:Disclosed are a cleaner and a control method thereof. The cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a main body having a suction motor for generating suction force; a driving unit for moving the main body; a suction unit which is connected to a handle through an extension pipe and sucks external dust; a hose coupling unit which is provided on the main body and is connected to the handle on one side to allow a flexible hose for supplying the suction force to the suction unit to be coupled thereto; and a control unit which executes an automatic following function that controls the driving unit so that the main body can follow the position of the handle while the suction motor is being driven. In addition, the control unit detects a coupling release signal by the hose coupling unit and outputs a control signal to terminate the automatic following function in response to the coupling release signal. 청소기 및 그것의 제어방법이 개시된다. 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 청소기는, 흡입력을 발생시키는 흡입 모터를 구비한 본체, 본체를 이동시키는 주행부, 연장관을 통해 핸들과 연결되며 외부의 먼지를 흡입하는 흡입부, 본체에 구비되며 일측이 상기 핸들에 연결되어 상기 흡입부에 흡입력을 공급하는 플렉시블 호스가 체결되는 호스 체결부, 흡입 모터가 구동되는 동안 본체가 핸들의 위치를 추종하도록 주행부를 제어하는 자동추종기능을 실행하는 제어부를 포함한다. 또한, 제어부는, 호스 체결부에 의한 체결 해제 신호를 감지하고 체결 해제 신호에 응답하여 자동 추종 기능을 종료하는 제어신호를 출력한다.
