Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for identifying an obstacle on a driving ground and a robot for implementing the same, and according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for identifying an obstacle on a driving ground comprises the steps of allowing: a sensing module of the robot to sense the depths of objects in a driving direction so as to generate first depth information; a plane analysis unit of the sensing module to calibrate second depth information by using ground information stored by a map storage of the robot so as to generate the first depth information; a control unit to identify an obstacle from the second depth information; and the control unit to store position information of the identified obstacle in a temporary map of the map storage.
