Abstract
In a moving robot and a control method according to the present disclosure, an obstacle is detected using structured light irradiated in a predetermined type of light pattern in a traveling direction while traveling, and a specified operation is performed in response to the obstacle. Moreover, a dangerous obstacle is recognized by extracting changes over time using a plurality of images for an obstacle or a low obstacle that is difficult to determine as detected data, and thus, it is possible to improve accuracy according to the determination of the obstacle, improve a corresponding operation according to the obstacle, minimize the uncleaned area while preventing restraint due to the obstacle, and improve the cleaning performance.
