A robot includes a sensing unit including at least one sensor for detecting a user, a face detector configured to acquire an image including a face of the user detected by the sensing unit, a controller configured to detect an interaction intention of the user from the acquired image, and an output unit including at least one of a speaker or a display for outputting at least one of sound or a screen for inducing interaction of the user, when the interaction intention is detected.

Robot and method of controlling thereof

A method for controlling volume in an apparatus having a speaker and a microphone includes receiving, at the microphone, external noise and speech of a user, and calculating sound pressure of the noise received by the microphone. The method further includes performing exception processing of the sound pressure of some or all of the noise using the calculated sound pressure and one of a speech utterance state, a speech receiving state, or a temporal length state, of the noise, mapping volume of the speech in response to the sound pressure of the external noise, synthesizing speech guidance into a sound file, outputting the sound file, via the speaker, according to the mapped volume.
