Abstract
A moving robot includes: a body defining an exterior; a traveling unit configured to move the body against a travel surface; an operation unit disposed in the body and configured to perform a predetermined operation; a tilt information acquisition sensor configured to acquire tilt information on a tilt of the travel surface; and a controller configured to, when target movement direction being preset irrespective of an inclination of the travel surface crosses an upward inclination direction of the travel surface, control a heading direction, which is a direction of a traveling force (Fh) preset to be applied by the traveling unit to the body, to be a direction between the target movement direction and the upward inclination direction based on the tilt information.
