Abstract: An electronic device and method are disclosed. The device includes a housing, at least one camera, a plurality of microphones configured to detect a direction of a sound source, at least one driver operable to rotate and/or move at least part of the housing, a wireless communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the camera, the microphones, the driver, and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory. The processor implements the method, including: receiving a user utterance, detect a first direction from which the user utterance originated, control the driver to rotate and/or move towards the first direction, a first image scan for the first direction and analyze the image for a presence of a user, when the user is not detected, rotate and/or move the at least part of the housing in a second direction, and perform a second image scan.
