    摘要: A robot cleaner that includes a driving unit for driving a plurality of wheels, a transmitter/receiver for communicating with an external charger, and a controller for controlling the driving unit. The controller controls the transmitter/receiver to communicate with the external charger while traveling an area to be cleaned and stores at least one location of communication in a memory. The controller further controls the driving unit to cause the robot cleaner to travel to the external charger using at least one location of communication.
