Abstract
Provided are a method for drawing a map of a specific area, a robot and an electronic device that implement such a method. According to the present disclosure, the method, the robot, and the electronic device improve quality of the drawn map by moving the robot so that loop closing is performed many times when the map is drawn. To this end, an accumulated moving distance from a first position and a second position of the robot moving in the specific area is measured, and when the loop closing is not performed at the second position, whether the loop closing is required at the second position is determined based on the measured accumulated moving distance and information on matching of feature points at the second position, and a movement of the robot is controlled based on a result of the determination.
