Abstract
A robot cleaner having a network function is capable of informing information on its internal and external states, through a network service, on a time desired by a user, or periodically, or whenever an event occurs. A remote monitoring system and method of a robot cleaner are capable of allowing a network service user to check state information of the robot cleaner real-time or when necessary, under a configuration that a robot cleaner provides state information such as a cleaning state, the occurrence of an unexpected accident, and an internal state of the robot cleaner, through a network service, by accessing a network server.
