A moving robot comprises a floor sensing unit comprised of a plurality of transmitters, for which different sensing distances are set, and a single receiver, and, since a floor state is sensed using a plurality of sensors, it is possible to sense a normal floor states, an obstacle or a cliff present on a floor, and a long-distance state at a distance farther than the normal floor state, thereby preventing wrong sensing of a cliff due to an obstacle, and, since whether to keep traveling is set depending on the obstacle and a traveling speed is controlled, even an area previously not allowed to enter due to the wrong sensing may be cleaned and therefore a cleaning area may be increased.

Moving robot and control method thereof

Provided is an AI apparatus for determining a location of a user including: a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one external AI apparatus obtaining first image data and first sound data; a memory configured to store location information on the at least one external AI apparatus and the AI apparatus; a camera configured to obtain second image data; a microphone configured to obtain second sound data; and a processor configured to: generate first recognition information on the user based on the second image data; generate second recognition information on the user based on the second sound data; obtain, from the at least one external AI apparatus, third recognition information on the user generated based on the first image data and fourth recognition information on the user generated based on the first sound data; determine the user's location based on the location information, the first recognition information, and the third recognition information; and calibrate the determined user's location based on the second recognition information and the fourth recognition information.
