    Abstract: A mobile robot and a method of controlling the mobile robot are disclosed. The method includes acquiring an image of an inside of a traveling zone. The method further includes performing a point-based feature point extraction by extracting a first feature point from the acquired image. The method also includes performing a block-based feature point extraction by dividing the acquired image into blocks having a predetermined size and extracting a second feature point from each of the divided block-unit images. The method also includes determining the current location by performing a point-based feature point matching using the first feature point and performing a block-based feature point using the second feature point. The method also includes storing the determined current location in association with the first feature point and the second feature point in a map.

    Abstract: A mobile robot includes a traveling unit configured to move a main body, a LiDAR sensor configured to acquire geometry information, a camera sensor configured to acquire an image of the outside of the main body, and a controller. The controller generates odometry information based on the geometry information acquired by the LiDAR sensor. The controller determines a current location of the mobile robot by performing feature matching between images acquired by the camera sensor based on the odometry information. The controller combines the information obtained by the camera sensor and the LiDAR sensor to accurately determine the current location of the mobile robot.
