Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with respect to a salient object in an image, a robot and a cloud server for implementing such method. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a robot includes a camera sensor configured to capture one or more images for the robot to perform the SLAM with respect to a salient object for estimating a location of the robot within the space, a map storage configured to store the information for the robot to perform the SLAM, and a controller that is configured to: detect an object from the captured image; select, as a specific salient object for identifying the space, the detected object verified as corresponding to the specific salient object; and store, in the map storage, the selected specific salient object and coordinate information related to the selected specific salient object.
