Disclosed are an electronic device and a method for controlling thereof. A method of controlling an electronic device includes identifying a first traveling path heading to a preset destination based on a map corresponding to an environment in which an electronic device operates; identifying an object interfering with traveling according to the first traveling path based on at least one sensor while traveling according to the first traveling path; identifying an avoidance path to avoid the object based on at least one of a location and speed of the identified object and traveling according to the avoidance path; and based on the identified object being distant by a preset distance or more based on traveling according to the avoidance path, controlling the electronic device to travel according to the first traveling path based on a current location of the electronic device.

Electronic device and method for controlling thereof

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

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.

Mobile robot device and method for controlling mobile robot device

Provided is an autonomous vehicle including a storage configured to store a map including two-dimensionally represented road surface information and three-dimensionally represented structure information, a camera configured to obtain a two-dimensional (2D) image of a road surface in a vicinity of the vehicle, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) unit configured to obtain three-dimensional (3D) spatial information regarding structures in a vicinity of the vehicle, and a controller comprising processing circuitry configured to determine at least one of the camera or the LiDAR unit as a position sensor, based on whether it is possible to obtain information regarding the road surface and/or the structures in the vicinity of the vehicle, to identify a position of the vehicle on the map corresponding to a current position of the vehicle using the position sensor, and performing autonomous driving based on the identified position on the map.
