Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method of identifying an unexpected obstacle and a robot implementing the method. The method includes: by a sensing module of a robot, sensing a blind spot located in a traveling path of the robot; by a control unit of the robot, calculating a probability that a moving object appears in the sensed blind spot; and, by the control unit, controlling the speed or direction of a moving unit of the robot based on the calculated probability.
