Abstract
Disclosed are a robot cleaner and a method for controlling the same. A plurality of images are detected through an image detecting unit such as an upper camera, and two or more feature points are extracted from the plurality of images. Then, a feature point set consisting of the feature points is created, and the feature points included in the feature point set are matched with each other. This may allow the robot cleaner to precisely recognize a position thereof. Furthermore, this may allow the robot cleaner to perform a cleaning operation or a running operation by interworking a precisely recognized position with a map.
