Provided are a robot driven by controlling a time of flight (TOF) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, and a driving method thereof. The robot outputs laser pulse signals of the TOF LiDAR sensor by switching a laser pulse signal of a short-range pulse energy and a laser pulse signal of a remote pulse energy, while the TOF LiDAR sensor rotates, corrects information about a distance between the robot and peripheral objects of the robot, based on reflection signals of the laser pulse signals, the reflection signals being received from the peripheral objects of the robot, and controls the driving module to move the robot based on the corrected information about the distance.
