Abstract:
A mobile robot may include a traveling unit configured to move a main body; a communication unit configured to communicate with another mobile robot that emits a signal; and a controller configured to recognize the location of the another mobile robot based on the signal, and control the moving of the another mobile robot to follow along a moving path of the main body based on the recognized location. In addition, the controller may transmit a signal corresponding to a change of the moving direction to the main body in response to the change of the moving direction, and sense a change in the receiving direction of the signal according to the change of moving direction to transmit a control command for restricting the follow-up to the another mobile robot.
