AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT AND A CONTROL METHOD THEREOF CAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY TRACING A RETURN PATH EVEN IF A SENSOR IS OUT OF ORDER

摘要

PURPOSE: An autonomous mobile robot and a control method thereof are provided to generate a return path corresponding to an entrance path using images photographed by multiple cameras.;CONSTITUTION: An autonomous mobile robot(100) comprises a main body(100), a position receiving unit(120), a receiving unit(130), a matching unit, and a path generating unit. The main body is moved toward a target point. The position receiving unit receives the position data of the main body. The sensing unit is installed in the main body and photographs surroundings. The matching unit extracts feature points from the photographed images and matches the extracted feature points with the position data. When the main body reaches the target point, the path generating unit generates the return path for the main body.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
