A robot cleaner (100) for avoiding a stuck situation using artificial intelligence includes a sensing unit (140) configured to detect the stuck situation of the robot cleaner, a driving unit to drive the robot cleaner, and a processor (180) configured to determine a rotation angle of the robot cleaner when the stuck situation is detected through the sensing unit, control the driving unit such that the robot cleaner rotates by the determined rotation angle, and control the driving unit such that the robot cleaner reverses by a certain distance after rotating by the rotation angle.
