Abstract
A robot capable of conversation with another robot and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. The robot includes a main body having a first region corresponding to a human face and rotatable in left-right direction directions, a signal generator generating a first data signal to be transmitted to a listener robot and a first robot voice signal corresponding to the first data signal, a communication unit transmitting the first data signal to an external server, a speaker outputting the first robot voice signal, and a controller controlling a rotation direction of the main body such that the first region is directed toward the listener robot at a time point adjacent to a transmission time of the first data signal and controlling the speaker to output the first robot voice signal after the rotation direction of the robot is controlled, wherein the listener robot receives the first data signal transmitted from the external server and is controlled to operate based on the first data signal.
