Abstract
A mobile robot includes a communication unit that communicates with another mobile robot, a sensing unit for sensing the other mobile robot existing in a detection area encompassing a predetermined projected angle with respect to the front of a main body of the mobile robot, and a control unit configured for rotating the main body so that the other mobile robot is sensed in the detection area. The communication unit transmits a control signal configured to cause the other mobile robot to travel in a linear direction by a predetermined distance, to the other mobile robot when the other mobile robot is present in the detection area.
