Abstract
A method, performed by a movable device, of sensing an inclination of a distance sensor attached to the movable device includes sensing an obstacle fixed in a task space of the movable device; the movable device moving toward the sensed obstacle; while the movable device is moving, measuring a plurality of first distance values from the movable device to the obstacle by using the distance sensor; obtaining at least one second distance value indicating a moving distance of the movable device while measuring the plurality of first distance values, using odometry information of the movable device; and identifying an inclination state of the distance sensor based on the plurality of measured first distance values and the obtained at least one second distance value.
