Abstract
A robot cleaner of the present disclosure includes: a traveling unit configured to move a main body; a cleaning unit configured to perform a cleaning function; a sensing unit configured to detect a surrounding environment; and a controller configured to perform a previous cleaning, to map a cleaning zone based on information detected by the sensing unit, and to control to perform cleaning by matching different cleaning methods according to a shape of the mapped cleaning zone. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the efficiency by providing an accurate cleaning zone definition and the division of the cleaning zone, and by providing an optimum cleaning traveling mode according to the divided cleaning zone.
