Abstract
A robot includes: a sensor configured to sense an environment of the robot; a driver configured to drive movement of the robot; at least one memory; and at least one processor configured to: based on identifying at least one wall through the sensor, control the driver to cause the robot to perform wall following in which the robot travels along the at least one wall, generate a map of an explored area by exploring an area in a vicinity of the robot through the sensor while the robot travels, store information on the generated map in the at least one memory, and based on the robot completing the wall following, control the driver to cause the robot to move to an exploration point in an unexplored area in the vicinity of the robot.
