Disclosed is a cleaner. The cleaner includes a cleaner body, a suction nozzle configured to suck dust on a floor surface, and a suction hose configured to transfer the dust, transferred from the suction nozzle, to the cleaner body. The cleaner body includes a driving driver or motor moving the cleaner body, a depth sensor configured to obtain image information about an object near the cleaner body, and a processor configured to extract a foot sole region of a person, based on the obtained image information, obtain a moving point of the cleaner body, based on the extracted foot sole region, and control the driving driver to move the cleaner body to the obtained moving point.

Robot for automatically following a person

A moving robot includes a travelling unit to move a main body, an image acquisition unit to acquire an image around the main body, a sensor unit including at least one sensor to sense an obstacle during moving, a storage unit to store information on a location of the sensed obstacle and information on a location of the moving robot, to register, into a map, an obstacle area of the obstacle, and to store an image from the image acquisition unit in the obstacle area, an obstacle acquisition module to determine a final attribute of the obstacle using the attributes of the obstacle obtained based on machine learning, and a control unit to detect attributes of obstacles through the obstacle recognition module if detecting a confinement state by the obstacles and to control the traveling unit to move one of the obstacles.

Moving robot and control method thereof

A moving robot includes a main body, a driving unit moving the main body, a camera installed on one side of the main body and capturing an image related to a marker, a memory storing information related to a pattern of the marker, and a controller extracting information related to at least one longitudinal line segment included in an appearance of the marker from the captured image, detecting information related to a position and a posture of the main body on the basis of the extracted information related to at least one of the longitudinal line segment and the pattern, and controlling the driving unit on the basis of at least one of the detected position and posture of the main body.
