Abstract: A mobile robot according to an embodiment of the present disclosure 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.

Abstract: Disclosed are a moving robot and a control method thereof, and the moving robot comprises a floor sensing unit comprised of a plurality of transmitters, for which different sensing distances are set, and a single receiver, and, since a floor state is sensed using a plurality of sensors, it is possible to sense a normal floor states, an obstacle or a cliff present on a floor, and a long-distance state at a distance farther than the normal floor state, thereby preventing wrong sensing of a cliff due to an obstacle, and, since whether to keep traveling is set depending on the obstacle and a traveling speed is controlled, even an area previously not allowed to enter due to the wrong sensing may be cleaned and therefore a cleaning area may be increased.

Abstract: A plurality of autonomous mobile robots includes a first mobile robot and a second mobile robot. The first mobile robot is provided with a transmitting optical sensor for outputting laser light, and a first module for transmitting and receiving an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) signal. The second mobile robot is provided with a receiving optical sensor for receiving the laser light and a plurality of second modules for transmitting and receiving the UWB signal. A control unit of the second mobile robot determines a relative position of the first mobile robot based on the received UWB signal and a determination of whether the laser light is received by the optical sensor.

Abstract: A mobile robot may include a traveling unit configured to move a main body; a memory configured to store trajectory information of a moving path corresponding to the movement of the 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 another mobile robot to follow a moving path corresponding to the stored trajectory information based on the recognized location. In addition, the controller may control the moving of the another mobile robot to remove at least part of the stored trajectory information, and allow the another mobile robot to follow a moving path corresponding to the remaining trajectory information in response to whether the moving path corresponding to next trajectory information to be followed by the another mobile robot satisfies a specified condition.
