A robot includes: a plurality of wheels; a plurality of motors; at least one sensor; a memory configured to store first information on a size of the robot; and a processor. The processor is configured to: acquire image data of an escalator from the at least one sensor, acquire second information on a size of a plurality of steps included in the escalator based on the image data, based on the first information and the second information, identify both a boarding position available for the robot to board the escalator among the plurality of steps, and a posture of the robot configured to allow the robot to board at the boarding position, acquire control information for controlling the robot to board at the boarding position in the posture when the boarding position and the posture have been identified, and control the plurality of motors based on the control information.

Robot and controlling method of robot

Provided is a robot and method of controlling same, where the robot includes: a sensor; a driver; a memory storing an instruction; and a processor configured to execute the instruction to: identify, through the sensor, a height difference between a first stair and a second stair of an escalator, identify whether the robot is adjacent to a disembarkment area of the escalator based on the identified height difference, based on identifying that the robot is adjacent to the disembarkment area, identify, through the sensor, whether an object is located within a first distance of the robot in a movement direction of the escalator, and based on identifying the object located within the first distance of the robot in the movement direction of the escalator, control the driver to cause the robot to move on the escalator in a direction opposite to the movement direction of the escalator.

Robot operable to disembark from escalator and method of controlling same

An electronic apparatus and a method of controlling thereof are provided. The method of controlling the electronic apparatus includes obtaining a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) map for estimating a location of the electronic apparatus, based on an event for obtaining the location of the electronic apparatus occurring, obtaining geomagnetic information around the electronic apparatus using a geomagnetic sensor, identifying a direction of the electronic apparatus based on the obtained geomagnetic information, and obtaining the location of the electronic apparatus on the LiDAR map based on the identified direction and the LiDAR sensor.

Electronic apparatus and control method thereof

An electronic apparatus for providing a traversability map of a robot and a controlling method thereof are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a transceiver, a memory configured to store feature information of each of a plurality of robots, and at least one processor configured to receive sensing data obtained by sensing vicinity by at least one external device from the external device from the at least one external device, through the transceiver, generate at least one map with respect to a space where the at least one external device is positioned based on the received sensing data, generate a traversability map for traversal of a robot based on feature information of at least one robot among the plurality of robots and the generated at least one map, and control the transceiver to transmit the traversability map to the robot.

Electronic apparatus and controlling method thereof

A mobile robot device and a method for controlling a mobile robot device to more accurately control positioning of the mobile robot device relative to a docking station. The mobile robot device obtains a first position relative to a docking station by scanning surroundings of the mobile robot device using a LiDAR sensor emitting a first frequency, moves the mobile robot device towards the charging station based on the first position, determines whether a distance to the charging station is within a first distance, controls the LiDAR sensor to scan the surroundings of the mobile robot device by changing a frequency of the LiDAR sensor to a second frequency less than the first frequency when the mobile robot device approaches within the first distance, and moves the mobile robot device towards the charging station based on the LiDAR sensor emitting the second frequency.
