摘要

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a moving path of a robot. The method for controlling a moving path of a robot, according to the present invention, comprises the steps of: installing a mobile robot in a work space which has not been recognized in advance; allowing the mobile robot to recognize an obstacle; dividing the working space into at least a plurality of cells having, as boundaries, extensions of an outer surface of the obstacle; selecting one cell from among the plurality of cells, and allowing the mobile robot to linearly travel inside the selected cell and to travel in a path for minimizing the RPM of the mobile robot; stopping the traveling of the mobile robot when the mobile robot covers all areas of the selected cell, and forming a new cell if a new work space is recognized at the stopped point; and traveling in the new cell, and repeating the formation of and the traveling in the new cell until there are no new spaces which have not been covered by the mobile robot at the point at which the traveling of the mobile robot has been stopped. Thus, according to the present invention, the mobile robot can complete the same work in a short time, thereby obtaining an excellent work efficiency.
