Abstract
A mobile robot and method for controlling the same are provided creating patches in images captured by a camera while the mobile robot is moving, estimating motion blur of the patches, and correcting the position of the mobile robot based on the patch from which the motion blur is eliminated, thereby increasing precision in tracking and reliability through accurate mapping. The mobile robot includes a main body, a traveler to move the main body, a camera combined with the main body to capture an image of a surrounding of the main body, a position detector to create a patch in the image captured by the camera, estimate a motion blur of the patch, and track a position of the main body based on the created patch from which the motion blur is eliminated, and a controller to control the traveler based on the position of the main body.
