Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a robot cleaner including a travel operation in which the robot cleaner travels, a recognition operation in which when the robot cleaner contacts an obstacle during the travel, the robot cleaner determines whether the obstacle is pushed by the robot cleaner and slides, and an obstacle bypass operation in which upon determination that the obstacle is the pushed-and-sliding obstacle, the robot cleaner stops the travel and then bypasses the pushed-and-sliding obstacle.
