Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides an artificial intelligence (AI) robot for determining a cleaning route using sensor data, comprising: a sensor unit including at least one of an image sensor, a depth sensor or a shock sensor; a cleaning unit including at least one of a suction unit or a mopping unit; a driving unit configured to drive the AI robot; and a processor configured to: acquire the sensor data from the sensor unit, determine a complex area using the acquired sensor data, create a virtual wall for blocking an entry into the determined complex area, determine the cleaning route in consideration of the created virtual wall, and control the cleaning unit and the driving unit based on the determined cleaning route.
