Abstract
A robot and a method of controlling same is provided, the robot including: first and second fingers, where finger comprises: a contact part; a light emitter configured to radiate light toward the contact part; a camera configured to capture an image of the respective contact part; and a polarization filter between the light emitter and the contact part, wherein the polarization filters are configured to pass light polarized in a first or second direction based on a voltage applied, and wherein the first and second directions are perpendicular to one another; a driver configured to move the first finger and the second finger; and at least one processor connected with the components of the first and second fingers and the driver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: obtain images via the first and second cameras by controlling an activation state of at least one of the light emitters and the polarization filters, and based on identifying the presence of an object positioned between the contact parts, cause the fingers to grip the object and to maintain within a pre-set range a difference between first and second distances.
