Abstract: A robot cleaner and a method for controlling a robot cleaner are provided. The robot cleaner may include a casing, a drive disposed in the casing, a camera disposed in the casing to acquire an image of a user's gesture, and a controller that extracts an image including a user's arm image from the image acquired by the camera to determine an angle and a direction of the arm expressed by the user's gesture from the arm image and determine an intension expressed by the determined arm angle, and controls the drive based on the determined intension. The method may include receiving a voice command through a voice recognition device disposed in the robot cleaner; determining, by a controller, whether the received voice command is a gesture recognition command; acquiring an image of a user's gesture by a camera, when the received voice command is the gesture recognition command; determining, by the controller, an angle and direction of an arm expressed by the user's gesture from the image acquired by the camera; and determining, by the controller, a function intended by the determined arm angle to control a movement device so as to execute the determined function.
