Abstract
There is provided a method for controlling a destination of a robot. The method includes the steps of: when information on obstruction of arrival at a first destination of a robot is acquired, determining an obstruction area associated with the arrival obstruction information by clustering adjacent areas around the first destination, determining a destination candidate area around the obstruction area with reference to a size of the robot, and determining an area in the destination candidate area, which is specified on the basis of a location of the robot, as a second destination of the robot.
