A moving robot includes: a main body; a traveling unit configured to rotate and move the main body; a sensing unit configured to sense position information of a specific point of a front portion of a docking device; and a controller configured to, based on sensing result of the sensing unit, determine i) whether a first condition, which is preset to be satisfied when the docking device is disposed in a front of the moving robot, is satisfied, and ii) whether a second condition, which is preset to be satisfied when the moving robot is disposed in a front of the moving robot, is satisfied, to control an operation of the traveling unit so as to satisfy the first condition and the second condition, and to move to the front so as to attempt to dock in a state where the first condition and the second condition are satisfied.

Moving robot and controlling method for the moving robot

A robot cleaner may determine a climbable low height obstacle such as a threshold, a carpet, or the like in a cleaning area when the robot cleaner travels the cleaning area. The robot cleaner may be able to climb the obstacle after completing a travel of a region except for the corresponding obstacle.
